The Church Avenue Church of God had its humble beginning way back in 1984. The passion to do God’s work originated in the apartments of Sister Theodora Roberts and Sister Agnes Aban, both of whom remain faithful and active members today. In 1985, the church was established as a mission on Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn, New York with Reverend Isaac Mitchell as the pastor. Twenty nine years later that once small group of believers has outgrown their present place of worship, which has led to the present ongoing construction of a new worship facility. That new worship facility would create more ministry opportunities for members as well as more social services to the community. Over the many years we have been meeting not just the spiritual needs of our constituents, but also their physical, emotional and social. We are actively pursuing God’s purposes for our lives, and are strategically reaching our community through acts of kindness, prayers and friendship. It is also our responsibility to help transform people from being guests to becoming vibrant members and ministers of Jesus Christ. We invite you to come, see, hear and experience what God is doing!

Through Prayer: Church Avenue Church of God believes in the power of prayer and that prayer makes a critical difference in all that we would attempt to achieve.
