Welcome to Seneca Street
Who are we?
"Seneca Street" is a Community Development Corporation (501-c-3) and a neighborhood church, whose building houses both enterprises.
The church's mission statement reads: "Working to bring Christ to the people of the Seneca/Babcock neighborhood and to promote spiritual, educational, emotional, and physical health."
The church's spiritual mission actively supports the Community Development Corporation (CDC),
while the CDC's secular programs are educational and developmental.
CDC and church activities are separate, but serve the welfare of the same neighborhood.

125th Anniversary Celebration! - 9/22-9/23, 2012
This September we celebrated the 125th Anniversary of our presence in the Seneca Babcock community! It was a fun-filled weekend with an open-house and a community party. The open house on Saturday was well attended by visitors from near and far; visitors saw different presentations about things the Church has done, and continues to do, for the Seneca Babcock community. Our community party was a huge success with games and face painting, a community dinner and church service. We had so many community members attend that we were overflowing the dining hall and had to bring in additional tables all over the downstairs! It was also our largest church service ever.
Thank you to all of our friends and supporters for making this event so special.

Inner City Mission Never Slows Down
Our Afterschool program is currently in session. Our Afterschool program includes academics, crafts, music lessons, Science FirstHand sessions, instrument lessons, cooking classes, computer lab and recreation. Please visit our Afterschool program page for details about our exciting and engaging activities with the community children this year.
On Sundays, area churches serve dinner to our neighbors at 3pm, followed by "noisy" worship at Seneca Street Church at 4pm. Following worship, we have bread and other baked goods available to everyone, generously donated from local TOPS stores.
Our church hosts job readiness and college exploration classes through the CDC for neighborhood youth, three weekly NA meetings and special events throughout the year. We are also home to two resident pets, Cuddles and Sweetie.
We welcome new faces! If you'd like to join us, or if our program seems worthwhile and you don't live in the area, please consider supporting us or volunteering. Our church and Afterschool program is supported almost entirely by compassionate donors from all over who want to assist less fortunate children and families.
If you would like to support us in some manner, please see our Wishlist page.
If you'd like to volunteer with the Afterschool program, please contact our CDC President Cheryl Bird.
