Bridge Street African Methodist Episcopal Church

I’m going to leave this review in regards to my aunt that was going to church all her life. She was put in a nursing home for dementia and other things. When she passed we was told we couldn’t have her services at the church she gave her life in. All because she couldn’t pay her tithes while in the nursing home. I would never forget this and this why I would never step foot back in a church. Just greedy people. May she rest in peace

Wow! It's been 33 years since I stepped inside Bridge Street AME Church, and I'm still standing. My experience has been spiritually fulfilling and I have a great deal of affection for some of my missionaries. Women who possess wisdom and are not afraid to tell you what is right and what is wrong. Our current leadership is moving us to places that are both challenging and spirit-filled. Last Sunday, we celebrated our 258th church anniversary and it was a blessing to attend the worship service and hear Bishop McKenzie speak.

Pastor David and Valerie Cousin and their entire staff are a powerful and positive influence in the Black and extended community. They have programs that help people of all ages from children with educational needs to adults looking for spiritual and other types of advice, including marital counseling and performing marriages. I always accompany my fiancé who has been a member for years. I like this church and have always felt welcome. The preaching is positive and uplifting. The choir is growing and sounds very good and they sound much better in person. Shout out to Devasha, Gail and the other choir members. Monique always offers positive energy when she delivers the announcements and I have to shout out Rev Bruce and Rev Charles for their preaching as well. The ushers and security team are always on point and that’s important in these times, thank you 😊 🙏 I really like this place, because in my experience everyone on their dais and expanded staff work hard to make the worshippers feel appreciated and welcome.

I have attended service as well enjoyed bible study with Pastor David Cousin teaching and doing a little”singing”. Both Revs David and Val Cousin are to be commended for the Church Anniversary Celebration. Prayers for a successful hosting of the New York Annual Conference.

Hello Bedford Stuyvesant Community. It is to my hurt and dismay that I post this . I was a member years ago of this historical and beautiful church family. Today I received a call back this holy establishment. To be greeted by the most nastiest and ungodly person with the ugliest disposition over the phone that I ever was introduced to before in my life . She is the pastors wife Ms Cousins . I reached out to be coddled in the arms of the lord and was told that in order for my children to be baptized it was strict guidelines , when asked can I speak to an elder whom could relate I was abruptly told the buck stops here and her disposition was totally shocking for such a famed woman of God . But that will not stop my Faith in the Lord and that his son died for the absolution of all mankind’s sin no matter race creed of financial. The God we serve has no boundaries for his love so I felt that if I want my children baptized the matter of me being an active member should not matter. What matters is that I want to have my children know the love of God and the works of his Son Jesus Christ. That he didn’t only die for the rich or well to do he died for everyone including me and you . Thank you but I will find somewhere else .Ms Cousins I’m sorry I can’t meet your criteria.Ms Cousins in reference to the call that’s not how the call went at all .I do admit that I asked questions on the call . But have a blessed day again just to let you know ,Thank you Ma’am for that information and all your blessings. But I would never try to berate or insult you I was just asking because I wanted to know what had to be done, I may have come off very harsh and rude I apologize for that and I wanted to know because I am an older lady of 48 years old born 1975 and I do have 8 children 1 grandbaby and I was just asking questions again . I didnt know anything about Executive Ministries First Lady was a term of endearment long ago I guess and I was never trying to insult you that’s a no no I already know not to do . I didnt mean and would never try challenge your authority at all. I apologize again if it was taken in the wrong way on my part towards you because maybe my presentation wasn’t good. Thank you.
