About the Chapel The Christ for the World Chapel began its ministry at JFK Airport in 1964 as the JFK Protestant Chapel, established by the Council of Churches of the City of New York, then named the Protestant Council. Housed in a stunning A-frame structure designed by renowned architect Edgar Tafel, a protégé of Frank Floyd Wright, the chapel was set between Our Lady of the Skies Roman Catholic Chapel and the International Synagogue in the center of the airport. While the three chapels together in the Plaza provided a picturesque setting and convenient location for community and church meetings, the location was not convenient for passengers or employees who were faced with a daunting journey on foot across two interstate highways. The last service in the old chapel was held in January 1988 and operations moved to a temporary interfaith chapel located on the second floor of the International Arrivals Building. In May 2001, the new Terminal 4 opened, along with the new chapels, testimony of our mutual commitment and cooperation at America’s Gateway to the World. Ministry of the Chapel
