West Park Presbyterian Church, 165 W. 86 ST, New York, NY
Dear neighbors and friends,
On January 5, 2024, we withdrew our application before the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) for a hardship, pending a resolution of unrelated litigation concerning the building’s tenant. Nevertheless, our congregation remains wholly committed to a future for the West Park Presbyterian Church that will be made possible by the sale of the property.
We have faith that the court will decide in the congregation’s favor as it evaluates the lease litigation, which will allow us to move forward in our efforts to invest in the modern, accessible worship and community space that the Upper West Side deserves and further support our mission in our community and in underserved neighborhoods across New York City.
We want to thank those who have spoken up in support of our congregation’s efforts to restore our church and renew our mission in service to our community. Our decision in 2022 to pursue the sale of our spiritual home for over 150 years, where our members made history as advocates for social justice and global peace, was not made lightly. After more than two decades of trying to keep up with repairs and waiting for unfulfilled promises of fundraising to come through, we are committed to exploring every option for our congregation’s future.
