English: Fellowship World Church, 878 Humboldt Parkway at East Utica Street, Buffalo, New York, April 2020. Unusual for a Protestant church on the East Side of Buffalo, this red brick Romanesque Revival edifice is notable first and foremost for its sheer size and height, with a large steeple centrally located, and towering over, the Humboldt Parkway façade. Round-arched windows and corbel tables crowning the frontal gable are also characteristic of the style. Founded in 1883 as a mission operated by Zion Reformed Church in the Fruit Belt to minister to the growing German-American community in the new Humboldt Park neighborhood, the original church - a small frame chapel - was razed and gave way to the present structure in 1895. The original congregation continued worshipping in the building for eighty years, then in 1975 merged with a neighboring congregation to become Calvary Emmanuel United Church of Christ, which continued on in a new location on Fillmore Avenue before finally disbanding in 1987. The charismatic Bishop John Young has operated his Fellowship World Church out of the building since 2015.
