OUR CHURCH
History Of The Church
Christ Fellowship Baptist Church had a significant first year in 1982, focusing on establishing their spiritual foundation. They held a successful church conference, appointed officers, and discussed important matters related to the church's development. The adoption of a church logo and motto strengthened their identity. Throughout the year, they flourished as a community, forming auxiliaries, choirs, and study classes.
From 1984 to 2006, the church went through a journey of building and rebuilding. They initially purchased a building on Putnam Avenue but faced a setback when Hurricane Gloria destroyed it during renovations. Undeterred, they acquired a new property on Sumpter Street, which became their new church home in 1986. For the next 20 years, the church experienced growth in attendance and membership.
​
In 2006, Pastor Kelley announced a new vision for a larger church building. They successfully raised funds and began construction on "The Blue Church of Brooklyn." During the construction phase, the congregation worshiped at a rented facility, continuing their commitment to fellowship. Finally, in 2010, they held their first service in the newly completed church building, which was dedicated with a grand opening ceremony.
​
The church continued to strengthen its foundation through outreach and community connections. They emphasized being a welcoming beacon of hope, and a community-wide Dedication and Blessing Ceremony was held. The leadership of Christ Fellowship Baptist Church has grown over the years, with Pastor Kelley remaining at the helm.
