The church, located at 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, has served as a hub for activism as well as religious and arts programming. “Even a decade after our building was landmarked and local officials promised to raise money to help us, we continue to exhaust our limited resources to address these needs with little support,” said Chester Soria of public relations firm Berlin Rosen in a statement on West Park Presbyterian Church's behalf.
