Jackson Heights is a neighborhood where different religions and cultures coexist in harmony. There is a Greek Orthodox Church, SS. Constantine and Helen, on the same street as the Jackson Heights Islamic Center Mosque,
which is located right off of Roosevelt Avenue. Other religious institutions, such as the St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church
and the Jewish Center of Jackson Heights,
open their doors to everyone in the community. They invite people to participate in different activities and programs that they host. The Community United Methodist Church,
provides workshops such as learning how to speak and write English for adults. Making a left on 74th St overwhelms one with the Indian aromas, culture and language. The constant exposure to the different religions in Jackson Heights has turned out to be the foundation for this community and what makes it special. No matter how much war and hate is in the world, in Jackson Heights everything is put aside. Here, one of the most critical MTA stops in Queens (74th St, Roosevelt Ave, Jackson Heights) connects the E, F, M, R, 7 trains and buses to La Guardia Airport along with these religions and religious institutions.
