Who would have thought we needed coats in April? Speaking of coats...

We are excited to invite your church to be a part of Coats for the City, a powerful evangelistic outreach in partnership with the North Carolina and South Carolina Baptist Conventions, happening December 5–6, 2025, right here in New York City.

Each year, Coats for the City brings together churches to distribute thousands of warm winter coats across the city – not just meeting physical needs, but opening doors for sharing the hope of the gospel with those who need it most.

Here’s how your church can get involved:

Volunteer Teams – Engage your members in serving on the streets of NYC alongside partnering churches from NC & SC.

Prayer Support – Commit to covering this outreach in prayer
This is an incredible opportunity to live out the Great Commission in our city during one of the most strategic times of the year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Metropolitan New York Baptist Association Votes Unanimously to Sell Historic Property to North American Mission Board

**New York, NY – April 5, 2025** — The Metropolitan New York Baptist Association (MNYBA) is pleased to announce that it has voted unanimously to move forward with the sale of its longtime headquarters at 236 West 72nd Street to the North American Mission Board (NAMB).

This significant and prayerfully considered decision marks a new chapter in the association’s ongoing mission to build stronger churches for the good of our city.

The decision follows months of discernment, planning, and dialogue with leaders across the MNYBA network and with trusted partners at NAMB. The sale now moves into the contract phase, after which it will be submitted for approval to the New York State Attorney General. Upon final approval, the property will officially transfer ownership to NAMB.

“This is more than a real estate transaction,” said Larry Mayberry, Executive Director of MNYBA. “It’s a strategic investment in the future of gospel ministry in New York City. We believe God is calling us to steward our resources in a way that cares for church leaders, facilitates collaborative relationships among our diverse member churches and helps us plant new churches and nourish existing ones.”

NAMB plans to continue using the building as a hub for ministry, and MNYBA will maintain a small office presence in the space, allowing for ongoing collaboration and regional impact.

“This building has been a hub for us for decades,” said Timothy Widjaja, Queens Regional Coordinator. “This new vision will help us do ministry in a more broad and effective way than ever before.”

Ministry Administrator, MNYBA
