About Us
Living Grace Worship Center is different. We are a supportive family that strives to live the true Christian life. Our Sunday services are filled with praise and worship to God, who is still saving, delivering, healing and prospering his people. Sitting in the middle of Spanish Harlem, which is located in the heart of New York City, LGWC is a multi-cultural ministry that does not remain behind the walls of the church building but reaches into and effects positive change in the community. We feed the hungry, water the spirits of the thirsty and provide hope to the dying of New York City, believing God for the miraculous.
