Brooklyn Church of God (1943-1965) 901 Pontiac Avenue

Beginning in the 1940s, a small contingent of American Indian people who moved from North Carolina to Baltimore settled in Brooklyn and made Brooklyn Church of God their church home. The church’s original location was here at 901 Pontiac Avenue. As Baltimore’s greater American Indian community formed, other church-going members of the community would travel to Brooklyn to support and participate in events. There was a regular American Indian presence in the congregation for many years.[1]
