Our History
Old Brooklyn is a dynamic neighborhood. In its long history, the community has seen rising and falling economic fortunes, shifting demographics, and a changing environmental landscape. Through it all, Pearl Road United Methodist Church has provided a spiritual anchor and brought people together in love and fellowship. Our fore-bearers founded the church more than two-hundred years ago and we have been in our present location since the 1840s. Through God’s grace, we have weathered many challenges like a catastrophic fire and the Great Depression while finding new and unique ways to reflect God’s love in our community.
In the past, we have hosted the Old Brooklyn YMCA, a Head Start program, and many other community organizations. Today’s members are honoring that legacy by reaching out to our long-term residents and helping newcomers put down roots. Our pews routinely contain descendants of our 1814 founding members and families that have been in Old Brooklyn for less than a year. The parish offers a long memory of what God has acomplished in the neighborhood thus far, and we believe that together, we can take the next steps to grow our community through faith, service, and family.
Our Mission
We seek to transform our community by sharing the Gospel through Christ’s Love. Together we can all hear God's message and act through His love.
