Community in Coxsackie

5 MANSION ST COXSACKIE NY 12051 518-731-7711

Welcome down to the sleepy village of Coxsackie. Preserved by neglect for 100 years, the old buildings stand just as they are in the yellowed postcards, frozen in time, waiting for loving hands to bring them to life again. We chose this town for its potential, and our community’s vision is a long-term one as we chip away at fixing up these buildings and restoring their former glory. It will take years, but we are committed for as long as it takes.

As the buildings gradually are healed, we are also seeing healing in our own personal lives and families, as we trust our entire lives to our Master Yahshua. Many of us had some cracks and flaws in our foundations and walls, but through the help of our brothers and sisters, speaking the truth in love to us, we are being rebuilt into what we were created to be.

We own a beautiful but forlorn 3-story opera house called the Building Block right next to the Hudson River, which will one day host our own plays. The public will be able to travel up the river, dock their boat, and meander through waterfront gardens into the theater, where they will be challenged, inspired, and enlightened by a vast variety of productions. For now, we endure the greater work of building patience in our hearts.

Next to this, a quaint building that used to be the Electric Company now houses our print shop, which supplies printed materials to our cottage industries and develops curriculum for our children. There is also a 1850s Victorian storefront, once condemned, but now home to our families and our shoe store called “Simon the Tanner.”

Come by boat or come by car. Our doors are always open to you. We love to share the hope that we have. We're about 10 minutes off the I-87 Thruway and the closest community to New York City. Come for a day or to stay!
