Janes United Methodist Church

About this church

Janes United Methodist Church in Brooklyn holds Sunday worship at 11 a.m. at its Monroe Street church in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The United Methodist congregation describes itself as multicultural and has served Bedford-Stuyvesant since it was incorporated in 1859, taking its name from the first bishop of the New York area in the former Methodist Episcopal Church. The church was long known for its music, built around a large pipe organ. After a 1984 fire destroyed its century-old building, members worshiped in space offered by neighboring churches until the current building opened in 1990.

Sunday services are streamed on the church's YouTube channel, which posts worship videos most weeks, so newcomers can get a sense of the service before attending. The church's history highlights care for the surrounding community, including attention to youth and seniors and help for neighbors in need. Donations can be made online through the website, and an events page lists upcoming activities. Visitors with questions can call the church at (718) 453-2316, email janesumc@yahoo.com, or use the contact form on the website. Service times can shift for holidays and special occasions such as Homecoming Sunday, so it is worth confirming the schedule on the website before a first visit.
