A New Generation Rising

One Abyssinian Spirit

For 217 years, Abyssinian Baptist Church has been more than a congregation—we've been a prophetic voice, a refuge for the weary, and a catalyst for transformation in Harlem and beyond. Now, God is writing a new chapter in our story. 

Since June 2024, we've witnessed revival: over 475 new members have crossed our threshold, 71 souls have been baptized, and our community is growing younger, more diverse, and more engaged than ever before.

"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these..."  — John 14:12-13

Join Pastor Kevin R. Johnson as he shares God's vision for Abyssinian's transformational future—and discover your place in it.
