What a great church service and the choir is magnificent. A little bit of heaven in Brooklyn. Christians of all denominations will love this church. People of all backgrounds should visit a service for inspiration and teaching. More

If you are near here, this is a great place to worship the Lord. Beautiful choir. If you have time and can stay for lunch, the food looked fantastic and smelled the same. We just did not have enough time. More

I was really looking forward to going here. The music was the main reason, and you do get plenty of that. But it wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be. The songs were overly repetitive and too long. The pastor was not engaging in his sermons and mostly used his speaking time to say how much he loved... More

Great singing from the famous Brooklyn Tabernale choir! 240 member choir. Singing and message was wonderful. History was given of the building built in 1917 during the first World War as a theatre. It was on my list for the family to attend and we were glad we did. More

Wonderful church, great pastor and great message. If you are looking for a church that preaches the Word of God, check it out. It gets full, so come early for a seat. God Bless! More
