Mission & Beliefs
Madison Avenue Baptist Church is an American Baptist congregation in midtown Manhattan, but it’s not the “Baptist Church” people expect.
MABC In-Need Fund
The fund was established in December 2020 as a lifeline to help those within the Madison Avenue Baptist Church Family in need of emergency financial assistance due to the COVID-19 crisis.
History
In 1848, there was a section in Manhattan called Rose Hill, famous for its flowers, summer residences, and many stately homes. It was here that the Rev. S. S. Wheeler organized the Rose Hill Baptist Church, now the Madison Avenue Baptist Church.
