Attend Sunday service at 9am, 12pm, or 3pm weekly in the main sanctuary. On Tuesday evenings, prayer services begin at 7pm, though doors open at 5pm. Services are held all year, and the church is busiest around the holidays, including Christmas and Easter, and just before prayer services begin.

Just for Kids

Brooklyn Tabernacle has a ministry just for kids. On Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings, young people are welcome to visit the BT Kids! Club. The club is run by volunteers, and guides kids in worship, lessons, and games that help them learn more about their faith. Just make sure to be on time—kids are not admitted after check-in.
