About Brooklyn Presbyterian Church
Located in the heart of downtown Brooklyn, MI, the mission and ministry of this large congregation is vibrant, flourishing, and engaged with its surroundings. We are truly an outwardly focused church seeking ways to be the body of Christ in all we do.
We are a congregation of believers who put the Two Greatest Commandments to heart and, by doing so, demonstrate them in all we do: “Love God” and “Love Neighbor”.
We welcome all people regardless. “Love Neighbor” has no qualifiers.
How do we show we “Love God”? We engage God through the Scriptures by fostering great programs, relevant groups, soul stirring music, a deep prayer life, and life-changing worship. But BPC is also more than this. We care about giving back to the community through our many local, domestic, and international mission endeavors. We want people all over God’s creation to know God’s abounding grace and love
