About this church
Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn worships Sunday at 11 a.m., with online access available by request. Bible study and Thursday social gatherings are also meeting online, while the church's current calendar includes a community food pantry and Bay Ridge community-supported agriculture distributions. Located above the subway in Bay Ridge, the congregation understands itself as both a spiritual home and a community center where worship, pastoral care, study, shared meals, and local programs are open to all.
The church grew from Syrian Protestant immigrants who worshiped in Arabic in homes, storefronts, and rented halls before incorporating in 1907. It moved fully to English during the Second World War, joined the Presbyterian tradition, and built its present sanctuary in 1957 with member labor. After a 2007 tornado damaged the building, neighbors helped the congregation recover. Bay Ridge United began worshiping with Fourth Avenue in 2014 and formally integrated through 2016. Today's church family names roots and members across the Middle East, Caribbean, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the mainland United States, and Brooklyn, with ages spanning infancy through centenarians. The 11 a.m. service is the clearest first visit; remote participants should request the current link directly.
