The current church building is part of a modern mixed-use development that combines a new worship sanctuary with affordable housing to address community needs in the area.
Key details include: Construction Timeline: Building began in late summer 2021.
As of the church's latest updates (into 2025), the project was nearing completion, with excitement around moving into the new facility. Sunday services are now held in the new space starting at 11:00 AM.
Design and Purpose: The development includes a dedicated sanctuary for worship and five stories of low-income housing above it. This was envisioned as a collaborative effort to benefit both the church and the broader neighborhood along Hillside Avenue, helping to provide much-needed affordable units in a high-demand area. City Councilman Ydanis Rodríguez (representing Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill) highlighted the project's role in adding housing stock during groundbreaking events.
Architectural Firm: The project was designed by AiF (likely Anderson Inouye + Fredericks), a firm specializing in community-focused architecture. They were commissioned to create a new worship facility tailored to the longstanding Baptist congregation in Inwood.
Prior Location: Before the new build, the church operated from the same Hillside Avenue address (noted as 37-41 Hillside Ave in older records), suggesting the development may involve renovation or expansion of the existing site rather than a full relocation.
The building emphasizes functionality for worship and community support, though specific architectural features (e.g., facade materials or capacity) are not detailed in public sources beyond its multi-story residential integration.
