Lenox Road Baptist Church

What Lenox Road Baptist Church does

Lenox Road Baptist Church is a 154-year-old Baptist congregation (founded 1871, organized 1872) operating from 1356 Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Its core activity is the delivery of weekly Christian worship services — Sunday at 10AM and Wednesday at 7PM — to a Brooklyn-based congregation, with supplementary ministry including a children's worship track for ages 4-12, youth programs, pastoral counseling, and community-facing events such as health fairs. The institution is led by Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick G. Cohall, who has served for more than 30 years.

The underlying technology stack is consumer-grade rather than proprietary: services are extended beyond the sanctuary via livestream on YouTube, Facebook, and Zoom, and congregational giving is processed through the third-party EasyTithe platform. The physical asset base is anchored by a $6 million worship facility with an adjoining educational and recreational complex that supports both ministry programming and community use.

The revenue model is a non-taxable donation-based model: operating funds are generated entirely from congregational tithes and offerings, captured in-person and via the EasyTithe digital giving channel. There is no disclosed commercial revenue line, endowment figure, or auxiliary business; no membership count, attendance figure, or budget breakdown is provided in the available data, leaving the financial scale of the operation undisclosed.
