October is FULL at The Dwelling Place! 🍂🔥

There are so many opportunities this month to gather, grow, pray, and be formed together as a people who are hungry for Jesus. From Sunday services and Bible studies to prayer and Become A Dwelling People, we’re believing God is going to continue to deepen what He’s building in us.

And this month is especially meaningful because we’re celebrating our 1 YEAR CHURCH ANNIVERSARY! 🎉

On Sunday, October 25, we’ll celebrate what the Lord has done and look with expectation toward all that’s ahead. We’re honored to welcome our apostolic covering, Apostle Deborah Holland, as our guest speaker for this special Sunday.

God has been incredibly faithful to this house, and we can’t wait to celebrate together. ❤️

TOMORROW IS SUNDAY. THIS IS YOUR SIGN AND YOUR REMINDER.

If you’re weary, discouraged, carrying burdens, or simply hungry for more of God, we invite you to join us.

It is difficult to put into words what we have been experiencing in these gatherings. Week after week, the presence of God has been meeting people in a tangible way. The gifts of the Spirit are active. Hearts are being refreshed. Lives are being touched by Jesus.

Last Sunday, even after service had ended, people simply could not leave. Many remained in worship as the presence of God continued to move throughout the room. We watched God heal, encourage, and minister to people right before our eyes.

We believe God is establishing a dwelling place in the heart of Harlem. A place where His presence is welcomed, His voice is heard, and lives are transformed.

Come expectant. We never know all that God is going to do, but we know He will be there.

☕ Connection Time | 10:00 AM
🙌 Service Begins | 10:30 AM

📍 P.S. 133 Fred R. Moore Elementary School
2121 5th Ave, New York, NY 10037
(Entrance on 131st Street)

We would love to worship with you.

Jesus is Lord.

This week Pastor Dajah preached on the reality that you cannot separate salvation from lordship. To receive Him as Savior is to surrender to Him as Lord. True salvation is not just about saying a prayer. It’s yielding your life fully to Jesus and allowing Him complete rule and reign over your heart.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

A powerful reminder that confession with our mouths means nothing if our hearts remain far from Him. God isn’t just after words. He desires surrender, obedience, and relationship.

Join us TOMORROW as we continue our JESUS IS series!

Connection Time. 10:00AM
Service Start. 10:30AM

We’ll also have some treats and special moments as we celebrate Mother’s Day together! 🌸

Yesterday wasn’t just a launch.
It was a marking.

The Dwelling Place NYC was established in the nearness of God’s Holy presence.

We watched hearts soften.
We saw joy break out.
We felt the love of Jesus fill the room, and people return back to him.

This is what we’ve been contending for.
A place where God is welcome to dwell.
And yesterday, He did.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us.

This is the Lord’s doing.
And it is marvelous in His sight. This is just the beginning!

There is a place in worship where you move past being aware of yourself…and become aware of Him.

Where you stop watching…and start responding.

Where you don’t stay in the outer court…but step into His presence.

This is the kind of worship we are after.
And this Sunday… we gather again.

Resurrection Sunday. Our official LAUNCH in Harlem!!
