Året igennem danner Sømandskirken ramme om fejring af gudstjenester og højtider som påske, jul og fastelavn. Sømandskirken tilbyder yderligere dåb, konfirmation, vielse og mindehøjtideligheder til alle med tilknytning til Danmark og USA. Den Danske Sømandskirke i New York er folkekirken i USA og er med i organisationen Danske Sømands- og Udlandskirker. Sømandskirken er en selvstændig kirke med en selvstændig økonomi. Menigheden er med andre ord ansvarlig for kirkens drift som helhed, da kun sømandspræstens løn betales af Danske Sømands- og Udlandskirker. Worship Throughout the year The Danish Seamen's Church offers oppertunities for worship through regular church services and the celebration of Christian holidays such as Easter, Christmas and Fastelavn (a traditional Northern European carnival celebrated the Monday before Lent). The Danish Seamen's Church offers baptisms, confirmation, weddings and memorial services for anyone with ties to Denmark and the USA. The Danish Seamen's Church in New York is the Church of Denmark abroad and is part of the organization The Danish Church Abroad/Danish Seamen's Church. The Danish Seamen's Church is an independent church with independent finances, meaning the congregation is responsible for maintaining the church finances. Only the pastor’s salary is paid by The Danish Church Abroad/Danish Seamen's Church. |
