About Church Evangelical Garifuna
Church Evangelical Garifuna (also known as Saint Peter's Church) is a progressive, bilingual Lutheran parish in Midtown Manhattan that welcomes people of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Located at 54th Street and Lexington Avenue, this ELCA Sanctuary and Reconciling in Christ parish serves as both a spiritual community and a hub for social action, community engagement, and the arts. The church is housed in an iconic modernist landmark building featuring a distinctive organ and the renowned Chapel of the Good Shepherd by Louise Nevelson. Saint Peter's offers Sunday liturgies in English and Spanish, hosts the historic Jazz Vespers tradition that has flourished since 1965, and provides a range of programs including recovery support, pastoral care, and cultural events. The parish explicitly affirms immigrants, asylum seekers, and undocumented community members as part of its mission of accompaniment and justice.
