The Church-in-the-Gardens, also known as Community Congregational Christian Church, is a historic Congregational church complex located in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens County, New York. The complex includes the church (1915), Community House (1926), and Parish Hall (1953) connected by breezeways and a separate parsonage (1929). The buildings are all in an eclectic Tudor Revival style. The church was designed by noted architect Grosvenor Atterbury and is a rectangular building with a prominent tower and attached carillon tower.[2]:3 The congregation jointed the United Church of Christ in May 2012.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
