Church of the Covenant (Manhattan)

The Church of the Covenant, often referred to as "the church of the United Nations" due to its proximity to the headquarters of the United Nations, is a late-19th-century church located on 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The original Church of the Covenant was founded in 1860 by the Rev. Dr. George L. Prentiss. In 1870, the church established a mission called Covenant Chapel, which grew and eventually become self-supporting and stronger than the founding church. In 1893 the name "Church of the Covenant" was transferred to Covenant Chapel, while the remaining members of the original church group merged with the Brick Church (another historic New York City church). In 1947, the Adams-Parkhurst Presbyterian Church merged into the Church of the Covenant.
