Our Mission Statement

Working to bring Christ to the people of the Seneca/Babcock neighborhood and to promote spiritual, educational, emotional, and physical health.

SENECA STREET CHURCH

The Seneca Street Community Development Corporation and the Seneca Street United Methodist Church collaborate often and have a strong partnership.  The two entities work separately and in tandem to improve the lives of the individuals and families living in the Seneca Babcock community of South Buffalo.  The UMC has existed in the community for over one hundred years, while the Seneca Street CDC was officially incorporated in 2009. 

The CDC and UMC often collaborate for outreach programs.  Many of the community volunteers who help at the CDC’s After School Program and Teen Program, also help on Sundays at church.

A MESSAGE FROM
SENECA STREET UNITED METHODIST CHURCH:

Our goal is to reach out to individuals in our area with the love of God. We do this with Worship, programs, personal support, and direct help for the ”gaps” in what our neighbors can provide for themselves.

Our hope is to help people get stronger, connected in the  community and more hopeful and grateful to God for blessings offered and received. The resources for reaching out and for sustaining this church are from God and the hands of United Methodist from all over.
