A Church Survives, Despite Recession


When we think of recessions, cut-backs and lay-offs are only but a few terms that immediately come to our mind. But St. Paul's Community Church (SPCBC) has added a positive word to the list: expansion. When the recession picked up, human services and jobs for East New York, Brooklyn residents became increasingly scarce. However, SPCBC directly responded by adding a "Financial Fitness Series" among a myriad of other community service programs. SPCBC has proven to be relatively recession-proof as it continues to minister to its 4,000 members (the second largest church congregation in East New York).
