Who We Are

Our congregation is a truly diverse church family centered around worship.

Historically we are an Arabic church. At present Fourth Avenue Presbyterian is a community of people from all around the world united in Christ. We are from Lebanon, India, Scotland, Trinidad, Colombia, Syria, Hong Kong, Pennsylvania, Palestine, Egypt, Cuba, Norway, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, North Carolina, and of course, Brooklyn! We range in age from a few weeks to 100 years old.

Located at a crossroads of neighborhoods and directly above the subway, we are an urban church committed to staying as a faith center in the city. In an age when people seem increasingly divided, our call is to be a place where people can come together.

Our door is open. Whether the reason is worship, a communal event, Bible Study, pastoral care, a Young Adult Study, good food at one of our famous potlucks, or one our programs all are welcome here. We believe deeply in the biblical mandate for hospitality and genuine care of people.

We aspire to be not only a spiritual home, but also a community center.

We are always searching for new ways to reach out to the city.
