Calvary-St George's was the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous. It also served as the launch point for Let My People Go, a non-profit organization that teaches churches how to fight human trafficking, and sponsors Out Not Down, an LGBT youth homelessness prevention program. A soup kitchen ministry serves meals to approximately 125 people on Thursdays at noon. The parish also hosts a children's Christmas pageant open to "[w]hoever shows up at church," according to Wall Street Journal. After a May 1, 2016 fire burned neighboring church Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sava, members of that parish temporarily used the St George's sanctuary to gather. St George's also hosts St. Ann’s Church for the Deaf, the first church for the Deaf in the United States, and Sea Dog Theater, a non-profit off-Broadway theater troupe. During the early days of New York's 2020 coronavirus lockdown, New York Post reported on the church's bells, which played "Amazing Grace" and other hymns four times a day. Calvary-St George's connection to Harry Thacker Burleigh, one of the first African-American composers to incorporate spirituality into music, was subject of a February 2021 PIX11 Black history moment.
