Weekly Worship Services in Brooklyn
Six gatherings across four days make up the weekly schedule at Brooklyn Church of God (Holiness). Sunday is the center of the week at 2315 Tilden Avenue, but the life of the congregation runs from Tuesday morning fasting to Friday night Bible study.
From the first gatherings in a living room in 1985, the character of this church was set: worship rooted in prayer and ministry centered on people. That remains true in every service on the schedule below.
Sunday Schedule
Sunday holds three gatherings, one after another through the morning.
First Service in English, 8:15 to 9:30 AM
The morning opens with an English-language worship service. It ends at 9:30 AM, right as Sunday School begins.
Sunday School, 9:30 AM
Sunday School meets at 9:30 AM. When the founder first turned the empty building into a place of worship, one of his additions was a Sunday school classroom in the basement.
Second Worship Service, 11:00 AM
The second service begins at 11:00 AM. Worship leaders guide the congregation in prayer, praise, and worship, and pianist Creunis Lors serves the congregation through music. After three renovations, the church can hold up to 150 people.
Gatherings During the Week
Midweek services give members a reason to come back before the next Sunday.
Tuesday Fasting Service, 9:30 AM
On Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AM, the church holds a fasting service. Fasting and prayer go together in this congregation, which counts among its earliest traits a commitment to prayer passed down from its founder.
Wednesday Prayer Meeting, 7:30 PM
The Wednesday evening prayer meeting starts at 7:30 PM. It continues a practice the church has kept since its founding: a congregation that prays together, week after week.
Friday Bible Study, 7:30 PM
Friday evenings at 7:30 PM are set aside for Bible study. For anyone who wants a more personal setting, the church also offers one-on-one Bible study two days each week as part of its community outreach and discipleship work.
What to Expect When You Visit
Ushers welcome visitors and support the worship services. Members of the Weekly Service Preachers ministry serve during weekly services, and the Media Ministry handles the church's audio, visual, and digital communications.
The church teaches holiness as a way of life. The church history points to Hebrews 12:14: "Strive for peace with everyone and for holiness, without which no one will see the Lord."
