On January 15th, people in New York City will get a spiritual message when they ride the subway: “God is”.
Times Square Church, an interdenominational church located in the heart of Times Square, launched an ad campaign this week in subway cars and subway station platforms throughout the city proclaiming that “God is.”
The ads describe God in multiple ways – “God is … With you…Willing to help…Able to protect…A father…A husband to the widow…Your friend…For you…Aware of your struggle…Powerful…Merciful… and more” – and will be displayed in 1,000 subway cars throughout New York City and on 50 platform posters in Manhattan stations.

Carter Conlon, Senior Pastor of Times Square Church, said in a press release, “Through the ads we want to tell people who know God and have a personal relationship with Him, to share with others what God is to them … We are praying that people who don’t know God and would like to know Him, would be moved by these ads to visit Times Square Church or any Bible believing church in New York City and find God through the forgiveness freely offered through His Son, Jesus Christ. And to those who once knew God and need to get back to God, we want to say simply this: His arms are open wide always ready to welcome you home.”
Times Square Church is an inter-denominational, multinational congregation, located in the heart of New York City, at 51st Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. The church was founded by Rev. David Wilkerson, author of the best-selling book “The Cross and the Switchblade.” Over 8,000 people, representing more than 100 different nationalities, gather to pray together each week, finding true unity is possible through Jesus Christ.
