Saint Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Lutheran church at 592 Knickerbocker Avenue in New York, NY 11221. It is one of 3,431 churches in New York, and one of 103 Lutheran congregations in the city.

In an unstable and sometimes threatening world, and in the midst of this big city which can seem so very impersonal, our Lord Jesus builds His Church.
