What Are Affinity Churches and Who Are We?

​

Launched by Westminster Seminary M.DIV graduate, former social justice advocate, and long time author Jomo K. Johnson​, the Rochester Affinity Church plant welcomes all to learn more in to join us in this growing community. (Full CV)

Affinity churches are small, focused faith communities gathered around a shared identity, interest, or life experience — because sometimes the best place to encounter God is alongside people who just get you. Rather than one-size-fits-all services, we've planted a network of churches across Greater Rochester, each shaped around the people it serves. Our Northstar: Activist/Artist Church is a space for creatives and advocates who aren't afraid to speak out on social and political issues through a Christian lens.

Legacy Church is for ages 60 plus, and honors and centers the wisdom and needs of older generations. Foodies & Casuals reimagines the Lord's Supper as a shared meal, gathering at a different local restaurant to break bread — literally — as a community. Church of Laughter is our evening service where worship, inspiration, and the Gospel come together through Christian comedy. And we're just getting started — new affinity churches for healthcare workers, the neurodivergent community, and the Deaf community (ASL) are currently in development. Every affinity church meets on-demand in different cities throughout the Rochester area, because we believe church should come to you, not the other way around. However you're wired, whatever you love, there's a place for you at the table — join our mission.
