Located @ 149 Springfield Ave, Newark, NJ 07103 Rev. Dr…read more David Jefferson Sr. was the Officiant over The home going service of my brother Isaiah Poyner On August 8, 2023. 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!!!!!

Very memorable and beautiful liturgy. Construction began in1904 but wasn't completed until 1924. Architecturally modern in design with some classic elements incorporated. The apse is inspiring with the dome painted to look like the stars of heaven, quote from Book of Revelation, and image of the Holy Spirit represented by a dove in the center of the dome. The suspended wooden crucifix is positioned above the sanctuary and the entire nave is inspiring and well laid out. Particularly of note are the antique stations of the cross with their delicate, hand painted and beautiful colors. Highly recommended. Mahalo for reading my review.

They're a nuisance to the residents on Williams and Eaton Street. They're always parking in front of driveways multiple times per week. They have Sunday services but also events during the week too.
