After attending Sunday morning service at Brooklyn Tabernacle, I felt like I was at church for the first time in 30 years. It was one of the highlights of our trip. And the music..... no words can describe.

It was a wonderful experience. The people were friendly and helpful. Music was upbeat, but I knew some of the songs. We heard a guest speaker who was great.

Its awesome to hear this choir in person! Listened them by bootleg in Ashgabat. I was really embraced by GOD in that amazing atmosphere of GOD's praise. I was impressed that its a real church and not a show. The highlight of my trip for me!

What a wonderful place. Like a taste of heaven! We attended both the Tuesday noon and Tuesday evening prayer. Everyone we met greeted and blessed us! God bless this church!

We stopped in here on our way to brunch one Sunday. We heard the music and could not resist going in. A great Sunday service with lots of singing and a wonderful sense of community.

We went there for a Christmas concert, which was very nice and hearty. We also had an opportunity to listen to the choir - it was very beautiful. I guess our Christmas holiday began from that very moment. Highly recommend!

I have visited many church of different denominations-and have heard many choirs. A friend said I should not miss a visit - so I went. The size, sound and music of the Brooklyn Tabetnacle Choir was a most unique experience and should be visted at least once by anyone passing through or spending time in Brooklyn.

I was there for a New Year's service a few years ago and then went there again just a couple weeks ago for their Easter service/play/celebration. All I can say is wow! The play itself was up to Broadway's standards. I felt like I was on the cast of "Passion of the Christ"! So powerful and well scripted! I honestly... More

For many years I have been familiar with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and have read books by Jim Cymbala. My husband and I went to the 12 o'clock service and it was a wonderful anointed service. We got there about 11:20 so we had no problem getting a seat. The ushers and everyone else we spoke to were very friendly.... More
