Harlem House

The Bruderhof (German for “place of brothers”) is an intentional Christian community of families and singles who share their possessions and seek to live out Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount.

Harlem Bruderhof House opened in 2006 in the heart of one of New York City’s most storied neighborhoods and is home to a handful of married couples and single men and women.

Although our schedules vary, we meet nightly for dinner and discussion and regularly host friends and neighbors. Beyond that, we meet weekly for prayer and worship, provide support services to patients (and caregivers) at city hospitals, and host a women’s bible study group.

In accordance with the Gospel of Matthew, which reminds us that whatever we do for the poorest, we do for Christ, we also volunteer with other churches and nonprofits in Upper Manhattan – at soup kitchens, clothing banks, pantries, and a senior citizens’ residence. One of our pastors also holds a weekly chapel service for homeless men and women at the Bowery Mission.

Please note that we are unable to offer overnight lodging.
