Who Are We?

Flatbush was founded in 1807 with the Sanctuary being built the following year, in 1808.
We are a small but very dynamic Reformed Church Congregation located on the outskirts of Saugerties, NY. Our mission is to worship God and spread the word of Jesus Christ throughout the local community and the world while upholding the standards and doctrine of the RCA.

We worship weekly with about 30 people with very interesting demographics.

• About 1/3 of our active congregation is above the age of 65.
• About 1/3 of our active congregation is between the ages of 65 and 18.
• About 1/3 of our active congregation is below the age of 18.

God has blessed us with a very active kids program! Our kids are our passion and our future!

What We Need

• Prayers that we can continue in the direction that God calls us to go.

Thank you

• We want to thank all those who helped us with our recent painting project.
