This non-denominational church focuses on helping the homeless and economically disadvantaged in our neighborhood. Everyone is welcome, and it’s a very community focused-parish. Prayer starts at 10:45, and worship at 11AM. It’s also a place you may want to consider getting more involved with in the future, as their mission is to assist those in need in Bushwick.

Bushwick, a very historical part of Brooklyn, is home to this beautiful church that was originally organized in 1851! It features a grand steeple and two iron towers. When it was founded, it was one of the only large, organized structures in a desolate area. If you’re into history, this would be a fantastic place to visit this Easter.

۩ Christ Tabernacle @ 1022 Wyckoff Avenue

Christ Tabernacle has a 12PM prayer for all of you late sleepers! It’s also very open to those new to faith, and has even written a blog post about inviting people to church on Easter. As they put it: “…Just know that our Easter presentation ‘The Great Unknown’ will be featuring three powerful testimonies that will speak to everyone in his or her walk of life whether they grew up in church or didn’t; no matter what their struggles are or were.”

For those with families, you can also join them on Saturday for their 4th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Food Bazaar on Wyckoff Ave.
