Thirty-nine years, three buildings, one hymnal39 ane, twa kote, yon sèl liv kantik
Bon Berger began in 1987 in a living room on NE 54th Street, when six families from Jacmel and Cap-Haïtien wanted a church that preached in Kreyòl. We moved to a storefront on NE 2nd Avenue, then in 1999 to the old Methodist building on NE 6th Avenue that we still fill every Sunday.
We are Baptist, we are loud, and we start a little after 10:30. Grandparents who came on boats in the eighties sit beside students who arrived last year. Everyone is welcome to stay for lunch.

TestimoniesTemwayaj
What God has done hereSa Bondye fè isit la
I came to the clinic with my TPS papers in a plastic bag. Maître Augustin went through every page with me. I came back on Sunday to say thank you, and I stayed.Mwen te vin nan klinik la ak papye TPS mwen nan yon sachèt. Mèt Augustin te gade chak paj avè m. Mwen tounen dimanch pou di mèsi, epi m rete.
I have sung in the choir for thirty-one years. I knew every hymn in that book before I knew a word of English.Mwen chante nan kòral la depi 31 an. Mwen te konnen tout kantik yo anvan m te konn yon mo angle.
My parents pray in Kreyòl, I pray in English, and on Sunday night the youth service is where those two meet.Paran m priye an kreyòl, mwen priye an angle, epi dimanch swa se la tou de rankontre.
