This section provides information about mission outreach work being done by our congregation. We hope it will spark your interest and imagination to reach beyond yourself. Check out our Volunteer page to find out how you can get involved. 1/8 Day of Discipleship The Day of Discipleship is a church-wide annual event that provides a rewarding service and fellowship opportunity to church members and their families.

- Officers | Brick Church
Officers Central to the Presbyterian tradition is leadership by members of the church who are elected by the congregation for particular kinds of service. The Presbyterian Church ordains men and women to the three offices that are reflected in the New Testament and have consistently been recognized by later generations of Christians – that of minister, elder and deacon. Additionally, New York State law requires that The Corporation of the Brick Presbyterian Church in the CIty of New York (the "Corporation") be governed by trustees (the "Trustees"). Elders, Deacons and Trustees comprise the Officers of our church. The Board of Deacons Class of 2026 David A. Bergan Nancy T. Blair Allison Ayers Elliott Catherine F. Eubanks Matthew C.
