Castleton Hill Moravian Church

About this church

Castleton Hill Moravian Church gathers at 10:00 a.m. Sunday on Victory Boulevard in Staten Island, with worship available both in person and through Zoom. Fellowship follows at 11:00. Children of every age are welcome in the sanctuary, where themed activity packets are available; a staffed nursery in a preschool classroom serves children four and younger. Several family-focused Sundays use drama, costumes, visual storytelling, movement, and child worship leaders to make the Christian story accessible. Limited parking is available on church grounds and surrounding streets, with the main lot entrance on Fairview Avenue.

Founded in 1873, Castleton Hill belongs to a Protestant tradition that traces its roots to the reforms of Jan Hus and the 1457 Moravian movement. The congregation describes itself as internationally diverse and lives by the Moravian maxim of unity in essentials, liberty in nonessentials, and love in all things. Junior Fellowship for kindergarten through sixth grade meets monthly, while students in grades six through twelve typically gather Sunday evenings. Two site-specific ministries make this more than a generic church profile: an eight-circuit courtyard labyrinth provides space for prayer, and the Moravian Community Garden grows organic food for Project Hospitality. The garden reported donating 335 pounds of produce in 2025 and includes wheelchair-accessible raised beds.
