St Paul Baptist Church

This is an awesome little church hidden in the heart of Harlem. It’s 122 years old, and the Pastor and ministerial staff preach in that South Baptist tradition. The people are very welcoming and extremely kind, and the music is just incredible as they fuse jazz and gospel, with various other kinds of spiritual hymns, and basically tear the roof off of the church.
They have a small unrobed choir and a full band with some amazing soloists and musicians. Visitors come from all over the world and they have a nice little welcome song that they sing where members shake hands and walk through the church greeting you and all of the visiting guests and giving shout outs to each of their countries. Very warm and highly recommended. And there was no waiting outside in line.
