International Ministry

Churches in Upper Manhattan often serve as quiet anchors in neighborhoods where the city’s pace never slows. International Ministry fits that role on the corner of 157th and Broadway, offering a place for reflection and community. The building stands at 561 W 157th St New York, NY 10032—just a short walk from the subway and the Hudson River’s edge.

What makes a church feel like part of the neighborhood? Sometimes it’s the small things—like restrooms available for visitors. International Ministry keeps its doors open for anyone who needs a moment away from the sidewalk, whether for prayer, quiet, or simply a break from the street. The area around 157th has its own rhythm, with bodegas, schools, and apartment buildings shaping daily life.

Questions about services or visiting hours can be answered by calling (212) 740-3030. Directions to the church are easiest to follow using the map at this link. It’s one of those addresses that blends into the block, until you realize how often people walk through its doors.
