The Brooklyn branch of Chosen People Ministries has a variety of ministries active in both the Feinberg Messianic Center and throughout the borough. We have planted Beth Sar Shalom (“House of the Prince of Peace”) Brooklyn Messianic Congregation, where we have regular Sabbath services, holiday events, Bible studies, small groups, discipleship, evangelism teams, children’s programs, and service at a local Orthodox-run soup kitchen. We also offer English classes, primarily for the Russian-speaking Jewish community, and a support group for family members of those with substance abuse.
The Brooklyn branch also hosts interns throughout the year, short-term mission trips such as Shalom New York and Kesher NYC for the youth, conferences including On the Derekh (on reaching ultra-Orthodox Jewish people with the gospel), and other special outreach events including concerts, special classes, and seminars, as well as lecture series. We are also home to the Charles L. Feinberg Center for Messianic Jewish Studies seminary program, a partnership between Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and Chosen People Ministries. The Feinberg Center contains housing to accommodate students and interns, though post-pandemic, visiting professors, missionaries, and other staff have been hosted at the center. In addition to their studies, our seminary students participate in the various ministries available in Brooklyn.
