About Our Church
Bethany Baptist Church-Newark is a historic, justice-oriented community located at 275 W. Market Street, in the heart of Newark, NJ. The church traces its origins to 1870, when a group of African Americans established the church on Broad Street in Newark in the building of the Peddie Memorial Baptist Church.
We are a community of people from all walks of life, united by a common heritage. We are teenagers and seasoned saints, parents and teachers, students and business owners--but, most of all, we are family.
