Next Step Community Church is a historic non-denominational evangelical Christian church at 360 Schermerhorn Street and Third Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. It was built in 1893–1894 in the Romanesque Revival style and rebuilt after a fire in 1917–1918. It has a brownstone base and superstructure faced with subtly textured brick with brownstone trim. The building features a large rose window and three corner towers.[2] Edward Morris Bowman was the church's first organist and choirmaster. He led a large chorus and orchestra at the church from 1894-1906 that gained a national reputation.[3]
It is a work of architects Weary & Kramer, and it is a work of Dodge & Morrison.[1]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 under the name Baptist Temple.[1] The historic pipe organ was undergoing a multi-year restoration at the time.[4] It was seriously damaged in a three-alarm fire that broke out on July 7, 2010.[5]
In 2022, it became nondenominational and was renamed Next Step Community Church. [6]
