Abyssinian Baptist Church

The Abyssinian Baptist Church exists to lead all people to Christ through love, service, community transformation, and global impact. Founded in 1808 in the heart of Harlem, Abyssinian is one of the most historic Black Baptist churches in America, a congregation that has long bridged faith and justice, gospel and community. Today, under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Kevin R. Johnson, the church is experiencing renewed momentum, significant membership growth, and a Spirit-led vision for the future.
