The United House of Prayer occupies 100,000 square feet of space in a historic neighborhood of Harlem, just up the block from the world-famous Apollo Theater. The House of Prayer Building includes a 20,000-square-foot sanctuary that seats 1,200 people and features high ceilings, skylights, and balconies. Across the hall from the sanctuary is a large dining room where church members dine. There is also a social hall, a small chapel, and a snack bar. The goal of United House of Prayer's renovation was to bring the church up to date as a multi-use building serving a large congregation.
