My husband and I have been searching for a church in the NYC/Westchester area for one year now, and we were about to give up looking when my husband decided to check for something in NJ and found Church at Bergen! We watched a prior week's sermon and were both so blessed by Pastor Mike's down-to-earth yet passionate exposition of the Scripture! We attended in person today and had the same experience, along with beautiful singing in the worship service, a meaningful communion time, and a segment committed to Bible memory. We are so thankful to have found this church and will Lord willing be making this our home church throughout the remainder of our time in NY.

The Poyner family was very disappointed by the treatment we received from Rev. Jefferson Sr. He missed pronounced my brother's name, called him to come up to the speaker and he's in the casket. He was very rude to Pastor Fields who read the Poem Called a Message from Isaiah. After reading the Poem she began to speak on her relationship with the deceased who she has known for most of her life. He interrupted Pastor Fields while she was still speaking by saying Amen you are finished. He criticized the solo artist that sang my brother's favorite song by saying she should have picked a better song, because she seem to be struggling with the song, and if he was singing he wouldn't have picked that song. RUDE!!!!! The service turned into the Rev. Jefferson show. He never said ANY comforting words about Isaiah during the service, except when he pronounced his name incorrectly. The most unpleasant event happened when he went into the bathroom with his mic still on and the whole congregation heard him urinating and flushing the toilet. The lack of sympathy and compassion shown to the widow, Mrs Poyner was unacceptable and he definitely owes her and apology. $1,750.00 for and unacceptable Home Going Service felt like highway robbery. He never read the Eulogy or the Obituary. The service was rushed through and things were omitted, which left and unpleasant taste in many of the congregants mouth. Everyone exited the church in dismay about the way the service was conducted. Rev.Jefferson owes Mrs. Poyner an apology and a refund. I will be informing everyone that I know, friends and family NOT to attend this church, because it's run like a business for profit and not a church in which you serve God. Metropolitan Baptist Church is a church I wouldn't recommend to anyone searching to find the word of God.Stay away!!!!!

Liquid Church has both a global and a local signature mission. Their local mission is to serve families living with special needs. Their global mission is to bring clean water to families in Africa and Central America. They have their own cafe (Clearwater Cafe), the idea was pitched in 2018, and they were immediately on board, donating $400,000 to make this dream a reality. The café opened in October 2022 with 20 staff members who work as baristas, cashiers, and waitstaff to serve breakfast, lunch, and specialty drinks. the goal of the coffee shop is to provide "delicious coffee, breakfast, and lunch with a cause." It employs 19 people with disabilities, some of whom say it's their first paid job.
