The church goers double park and block the street every Sunday. After speaking with the doorman about which vehicle needed to be moved so I could get out and go to work, was told they would talk to the owner. Waited in my vehicle for 45 mins before giving up.

Incredible spot if you tryna chill with your friends or shorty definitely recommend and the food was great and bartender was super chill and definitely recommend the best things on the menu. 2 drinks of the Harlem tea which contains Henny. 1 order of garlic chicken wings . 1 Shrimp quesadilla, 1 mozzarella stick for $75 or so with cash no tax . But we got in for free and we was able to smoke cigs/weed at the spot and dj/music πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Very rude to tourists, it's only for them, sooo bad manners. A lousy deal. There are many ways of saying things. We do not close the doors to anyone when they visit our country.

How would Jesus address this situation? He would welcome them + allow His words + loving Holy Spirit to do the rest ❀ Don't, put God in box, He is larger than that

Good Morning At what time the mass starts?

Marcello Pestana | Sep 9, 2018
L T | Sep 8, 2020

It's not a Catholic Mass. There is a Church service where there are many elements involved; welcome, readings, group songs, social updates, a sermon, and an opportunity for everyone to give a financial offering to help aid the work the Church does. . The Worship Service starts at 10:00am.

Do you have services on Wednesday evening, includes Gospel services.

Arthur Zuckerman | Sep 8, 2020
Tanya Robinson | Sep 8, 2020

There is indeed a Mid-Week Manna service at 7pm on Wednesday evenings. There is a variety of music performed at all services, some of which might or might not include gospel.

Greetings, Visitors usually come to the 11:30 service, however I would contact the church if you want to be recognized in some way. There are certain instances where you cannot simply get up an leave the church; i.e. during prayer, or right before the tithes and offerings plate is being passed around. I hope you make it to Abyssinian, you'll never forget the experience. :)

God bless yes The Abyssinia Baptist Church have a great choir.....Which church do you attend and where are you visiting from..Yes the Service is a worship..The choirs do sing gospel music..Which is excellent ..
