Berean Baptist Church

About this church

Berean Baptist Church in Brooklyn worships at 10:00 a.m. Sundays in the sanctuary, on Zoom, and through Facebook Live; doors open at 9:30. Dress ranges from suits, hats, and dresses to jeans and sneakers. The church celebrates baptism on second Sundays, Holy Communion on second Sundays, and infant dedication on fourth Sundays, with evening prayer on Zoom from 7:00 to 7:15 every Sunday.

Founded in 1850 by a racially diverse group during the abolitionist movement, Berean records that its building served people escaping slavery through the Underground Railroad. That legacy continues in a mission of worship, witness, work, social action, advocacy, and community service. More than thirty ministries include children, youth, young adults, seniors, music, fellowship, outreach, and a Saturday food pantry at 11:00. Wednesday transformative Bible study begins at 7:00 on Zoom, followed by intercessory prayer at 8:00. Visitors may arrive at 9:30 and participate onsite or use the published Zoom details remotely.
