Before you towers the Next Steps Community Church, a testament to Brooklyn’s enduring spirit. This isn’t just any church. The Next Steps Community Church started its life in 1894 as the Baptist Temple. Its majestic Romanesque Revival design, with its brownstone base and textured brick facade, speaks to a different era. Imagine the community gathering here over a century ago, finding solace within these walls. In the 1900s, a devastating fire swept through the church. Yet, like a phoenix from the ashes, it was rebuilt in 1918, showcasing the community’s resilience. Look up and notice the intricate rose window and the three corner towers, architectural details that survived the fire. Today, known as the Next Steps Community Church, it continues to serve its community, its doors open to all.
