Support the Sanctuary Ceiling & Pipe Organ Project
After completing an exhaustive study of the conditions of the plaster ceiling that partially collapsed in 2023, and meeting with consultants about the pipe organ that has been under repair for more than two decades and is now only 30% functional, we have launched a campaign to raise $3.5 million for the restoration of the sanctuary ceiling, completion of ADA accessibility to the space, and make critical renovations to its 115+ year old pipe organ, so we can open our doors to all.
Sunday Morning Worship Continues! Since the ceiling collapse, Sunday worship services, special events, concerts and activities have continued in-person without a break, in the Underwood Chapel, accessible from 85 South Oxford Street. And also live-streamed on YouTube and Facebook @lapcbrooklyn
