Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church

Did the name “Mamre” ever catch your ear before? Right here at 1623 Utica Avenue stands the Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church. It’s a relatively young congregation in the grand scheme of things, established in 1989. The Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church’s 25th anniversary was celebrated in 2014. The church isn’t just a place of worship; it’s a community hub. The church has a rich history of community outreach, offering pre-school, children’s, youth, adult, family, and senior citizen ministries. As of 2014, the Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church boasted a membership of 485, with a Sunday school enrollment that further extends its reach into the community. The church’s principal worship service is conducted in French, adding a unique cultural flavor to this corner of Brooklyn. Led by Reverend Farrell Jones in 2014, the Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church continues to be a vibrant part of the Brooklyn religious landscape. You can find the Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church nestled at the intersection of Utica Avenue and Avenue H. Its journey began quite humbly at Parkway Elementary School, under the initiative of individuals like Brother and Sister Stevel Beckford, Sister Pearl Brown, and several others. They held their first Sabbath School in February 1989, a testament to their dedication and vision for what the Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church would become. The church’s growth led them to a new location on Avenue I in 1990, and finally to this very spot on Utica Avenue in 1993. The Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church has experienced both growth and challenges throughout its history, including periods without a resident pastor. Yet, the congregation persevered, demonstrating the strength and resilience of their faith. Today, the Mamre Seventh Day Adventist Church stands as a beacon of faith and community, a testament to its humble beginnings and the unwavering commitment of its members.
