- AlexandraDecember 22, 2013Dress nicely - skirts to knee and no leggings - or you won't get in. No backpacks! There will be a line. But this one has a shorter service than the new mt Zion church.
Harlem AmbassadorMay 30, 2013Getting past the bodyguards on a Sunday will require the "Love of Christ" in patience. Locals get first dibs on seating as everyone else waits. Tourists come for gospel and leave. (NOT recommended)
Leandro BeguociJanuary 17, 2013Lovely people! It is a good place to experience the history of African American people song and religion
Chelsea GarberJanuary 13, 2014Check out Jazz series on Sunday nights. $20 to see the best of Lincoln Center in a more intimate setting. Expect sing alongs, dancing, and kind folks.
It's a sacred worship service. Not a performance. So expect some different protocols than you are used to in a theater. But still, no photos allowed.
Fabio DianApril 21, 2013Organization is awesome. People that complain about rudeness doesn't understand that they are INVITED to participate on a ceremony. No shoulders uncovered, no leggings, no backpacks. Also no photos!
Gamal AlexanderDecember 3, 2011Not much seating here so get there early or you won't get in. (Except for Christmas and Mother's day. Don't bother going then because you won't get a seat.) Go at your own risk!
Check out mid-week Manna. Wednesdays from 7-8pm! Casual Praise!
There is plenty of seating. Yes, it is very very crowded on holidays and Mother's day.
NYULYPMarch 5, 2012This historic landmark still hosts service every Sunday and has over 1000 visitors a week!
Luciana LJuly 21, 2013Rude men yelling at tourists. We were wearing denim pants and respectful t-shirts but were told by one of them that we were dressed to go to the zoo. If a white man had said it he'd be in jail
- Luciana LJuly 21, 2013Rude men yelling at tourists who wanted to attend the mass. About dress code,etc. 2 hours in the queue being checked like on airport customs. Beautiful ritual, but this is not a church for everyone.
Ana Caroline Dams CorreiaJune 7, 2014Chegue cedo e não vá de legging, mochila, vestido. Se por acaso encrencarem com a sua roupa, tem um Mcdonald's na esquina caso tenha outra peça de roupa com você e quiser se trocar.
David GalisteoAugust 7, 2014Qué gran experiencia ver una auténtica misa con gospel. Y sin casi turistas. Una gozada.
Farley FrossardSeptember 15, 2013Nao pode entrar com bolsa , maquina fotografica e telefone , o culto é um show , porem muito longo ,
Carmen R JAugust 9, 2014No les gustan demasiado los turistas blancos incluso si van a disfrutar de la ceremonia igual que un local, aun así no está mal como curiosidad.
Xisca JuanFebruary 25, 2013Los gorilas que controlan el acceso de turistas son muy groseros. Hay otras iglesias más modestas que agradecen las visitas
