Our Men’s Ministry emphasizes growing in godly leadership while seeking to learn how to be more effective Men of God in our relationships with our wives, children, co-workers, and neighbors. Social get-togethers, Bible Studies, Prayer groups and other programs help us to meet these goals. 

MEN'S MINISTRY

​

The SPCC Women’s Ministry endeavors to nurture the women of our church and the community as they come to faith. Bible studies, programs and events will inspire your heart, enrich your life and strengthen your relationships—especially your relationship with the Lord. Once you join the church you are automatically a member of the ministry.

At SPCC we recognize the important role music plays in the life of our community of faith. Our choir's purpose is always to glorify God, and to lead the church in worship providing the congregation with a meaningful worship and musical experience. We welcome people who have a love of music and a willingness to commit to an essential and enthusiastic music ministry.

Motivated by Christ's love, the SPCC Food Pantry continues Christ's work by feeding those in need. We strive to foster a caring atmosphere and treat each person with dignity and care about each one as an individual. It is our hope that those who receive food will be strengthened in body and soul.

The role of the usher is a vital ministry in the church. The purpose and function of the Ushers & Greeters Ministry is to meet, greet and seat the worshippers, with a loving smile. They are ministers of hospitality and assist in providing a wonderful service for each member of the church and to guests.

"The Journey" (Children's Church) desires to provide a loving first impression of God's House, and to allow parents to give their full attention to worshipping and serving. We use music, crafts, games, and creative Bible teaching to help kids learn about God.

THE JOURNEY

 The dance ministry, Akua Injili, strives to use the talents and gifts God has blessed us with to honor Him. Akua Injili uses several forms of dance as we express our praise to God. Modern, jazz, hip hop, African, and ballet steps can be seen in our movements.

Rev. Claudette L. Grant-Brown was born in Brooklyn, New York, in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area.  She is the proud mother of Janelle, Gregory (deceased) and Breland Grant; and the grandmother of two handsome grandsons: JahQuale Mazyck and Gregory C. Grant.

 

  She served at the St. Philip’s Christian Church, Disciples of Christ for 11 years as an Associate Minister.  Rev. Brown is currently the Interim Pastor at SPCC. “I thank God for the honor and privilege to lead his people spiritually.” She is also a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Northeastern Regional Board serving as a Co-Chairperson of the Disciples Women’s Ministry of the Northeastern region. Rev. Brown is a newly member of the 79th Precinct Clergy Council, Brooklyn, NY.

 

  Rev. Brown earned two Bachelor’s Degrees in Theology and Religious Education under the auspices of the Community Bible Institute (CBI) - New York Lighthouse Christian College in May 2009. “I knew then, that God had saved me for such a time as this!” While in seminary, in the fall of 2006, she answered the Call to ministry. She could not find any excuses not to accept or serve God. “I was unemployed and the path was set!” God’s plan was for her to go in a new and different direction. God’s call on her life changed her completely. Rev. Brown gives God all the credit every day for keeping her in her right mind during those trying times and life challenges.

 

 Rev. Brown’s first preaching assignment was at Stuyvesant Heights Christian Church, Christian Women’s Fellowship’s 2005 Easter Breakfast where she had served for 24 years. She also was given the opportunities to preach at numerous churches in Brooklyn, NY, Long Island and New Jersey. She has facilitated many workshops on evangelism and women issues.

 

  Claudette is employed at TIAA (Financial Services) as a Senior Administrative Assistant since 2007. She works with wealth management advisors who provide investment solutions for individuals for retirement in the academic, research, medical, and cultural fields. For Claudette, her work is not just a job, it’s a ministry. She is passionate about listening, counseling and teaching women of all ages. Knowing your passion is the key to discovering your calling. Life has its challenges and balances, and she has had a few of them. She believes that God remains faithful to those who believe and trust in Him. Even in the loss of her eldest son, she still believes that God makes no mistakes and that she remains faithful to Him and has deep gratitude for His grace and mercy during this time. She remains encouraged and feels so blessed to be called by God and to be His faithful servant. The Bible states, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 Amen!
