La Iglesia Pentecostal La Luz del Mundo / Light of the World Church Pentecostal Church is an Assemblies of God Pentecostal church in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City, located at 179 South 9th Street, occupying the historic 19th-century former New England Congregational Church since 1955.
The former New England Congregational Church was a Congregational Church built between 1852 and 1853 in the Italianate-style to designs by Thomas Little. It is a brick building faced in brownstone with wood and metal trim. Henry Ward Beecher gave the keynote address at the cornerstone laying and his younger brother Thomas K. Beecher was the guiding spirit for the young congregation. The adjacent rectory was built in 1868.[2]
At some point, the Congregational congregation sold the church and it was operating as a Lutheran church in the mid 20th century. The Lutherans sold the church in 1955 to Iglesia Pentecostal La Luz del Mundo / Light of the World Church Pentecostal Church (Assemblies of God Pentecostal). It was landmark protected in 1981.[3] It was restored between 1988 and 1993, and as of 2008 was still in use.[4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
