Video-A Sunday in the life of a storefront church

Prophetess Barbara Henry started Shekinah Faith Ministries at a YMCA in Yonkers in 2007.  She moved to a storefront on White Plains Road the following year, joining at least 50 other places of worship that have earned the street the nickname “God’s Row.”

Bronx residents know these churches by the loud singing and yelling heard on the sidewalk on Sundays.  Watch this video to see what it’s like inside the three-hour-long service of Henry’s Pentecostal church.
