Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge Number 878, now known as New Life Fellowship Church, is a historic Elks lodge located in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens County, New York. The main building and annex were built in 1923-1924, and is a 3 1/2-story, Italian Renaissance style brick building. A three-story rear addition was added in 1930. The building features a granite-block terrace and granite balustrade, limestone arched entrance, and an elaborate terra cotta cornice. It was once was the largest such lodge in the Eastern United States, with 60 inn rooms, bowling alleys, billiards, a ladies' lounge, and a 50 feet (15 m) bar. In 2001, the Elks sold its main building to New Life Fellowship Church; it continues to meet in the annex as the Brooklyn Queens Borough Elks Lodge.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
