On May 22, 1921, a new Christian Church was organized in Richmond at a meeting at George Thorpe School, with a charter membership of one hundred and four members. The Sunday School was organized on May 28, 1921, having a membership of 91. On February 5, 1922, a church building for the congregation was dedicated.

The property which the church acquired was also contiguous to the city park of that name.

On December 18, 1948, the cornerstone was laid for a new church building at the corner of Brook Road and Bellevue Avenue. The new Battery Park Christian Church building was dedicated on December 11, 1949.
