Abyssinian Baptist Church

An unforgettable experience. The Sunday service at Abyssinian Baptist Church is truly inspiring—filled with powerful gospel music, heartfelt preaching, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The congregation made us feel like honored guests. A beautiful expression of faith and Harlem’s vibrant community spirit.

I went to this church last week,and I was devastated. Don't get me wrong the choir sings very beautifully.🥰.. but I came to hear the word, the sermon, the knowledge rolled off someone's tongue with a message that comes from God. Is what my goal is far as going to the house of Lord. I did not get that at all. The pastor did not bring that into my heart. People wanna feel the presence of the Lord when they leave church. But that collection plate and tides of money,was asked by him very often. I will be going somewhere else on Sunday unfortunately. 🤔

Turning away newcomers is awful. Open an overflow area, let people stand in the back, or make an area with a tv so people who make the trek over can listen to the word. I’ve never been to a church that doesn’t allow non members in, and when they just pass along people are members while saying there’s no room for new folks- it’s just sad.

What a wonderful place of worship! The people, from the lady welcoming us, the couple sitting next to us, the ushers, and the gentleman explaining the history of this church...thank you for making us feel welcome. NOTE: as a visitor, you will need to go to their website to make a reservation. You can't just walk in to attend their service.

Very disappointing experience. The staff was rude and unwelcoming, and no one made any effort to share basic information or help. We came all the way after calling the day before, hoping to feel included, but instead we were made to feel like outsiders simply because we are not members. To make it worse, this experience completely ruined our Sunday morning. The irony is hard to miss—this is a church, after all. If kindness, openness, and hospitality are core values, they certainly weren’t reflected here.
