Besieged by calls for his resignation since his indictment on federal charges Thursday, Mayor Eric Adams is unwavering: he is not stepping down.

"The show goes on,” he told reporters outside a Bronx church on Sunday.

As in previous moments of adversity, Adams found refuge at houses of worship over the weekend. Inside Emmanuel Presbyterian Reformed Church in the Bronx, which was holding its 25th anniversary celebration Sunday, the mayor was warmly received.

"I’m not going to resign, I’m going to reign,” he told congregants. "During the most darkest moments, that is not a burial. It’s a planting. And let God do his work. I’m going to do my work. I’m going to lead this city in a direction that this city is supposed to go into.”

Churchgoers, predominantly from Ghana, were almost universally supportive.

“We have love for the mayor. I mean, he does the best he can,” said David Frimpong-Manso.

“He has a good heart. And he cares for the community,” said Kofi Bamfo-Akoto. “And that’s the most important part of it for us.”

“Between him and his God, he knows the truth about everything they are saying about him. And if he's not guilty,” said Sarah Kwason, “I’m supporting him.”

Later, at Mt. Sinai United Christian Church in the St. George neighborhood on Staten Island, faith leaders rallied around him, and in some cases, downplayed the charges against him.

“It is not much. There’s a whole lot of nothing,” said Rev. Demetrius Carolina of First Central Baptist Church. “Let’s support a good leader who has proven himself to be our leader in the person of Mayor Eric Adams.”

In his remarks, Adams asked the people of the city to let him continue to do his job. He has long maintained that New Yorkers have more pressing concerns than the multiple federal probes into his administration.

“What New Yorkers believe in is what America believes in, and that’s due process,” he told reporters earlier. “We should never get away from that.”

Adams may not step down, but Gov. Kathy Hochul has the power under the law to remove him. He confirmed that he and the governor are talking.

“We have a great chief executive in this state,” Adams said. "And I’m going to continue to dialogue with her throughout this entire weekend, and going into next week, as we continue to deliver.”

Sources have told NY1 that Hochul wants to give the mayor a couple of days to regain the confidence of New Yorkers, and suggested that may require significant staff departures.
