About Us

YOU ARE WELCOME

Laikos Manhattan

Laikos Manhattan is the Manhattan branch of the United Denomination: Lighthouse Group of Churches (UD-OLGC) in New York City, meeting at The Hirsch Hall at Ansche Chesed. As part of this Ghana-based Pentecostal network founded in 1987 by Dag Heward‑Mills, it brings a global‐minded vision to local community life.

At Laikos Manhattan you’ll find worship, Bible teaching and disciple-making rooted in the UD-OLGC’s mission of church-planting and transformation. The Upper West Side location offers accessible city ministry where faith meets culture, and the global heritage of UD-OLGC meets local New York vibrancy.
