History
The church itself was first established in Los Angeles in 1968 by Reverend Troy Perry. This location was moved four years afterward to New York, where it moved into the Lesbian and Gay Services Center, the address that it remained at from 1983 to 1994. The church was moved once again in 1994 to its current location at West 36th Street.
