A Brooklyn church celebrated 140 years in its neighborhood with a rededication ceremony Saturday.

The Sixth Avenue Baptist Church in Park Slope was founded in 1867. Dozens attended services to mark the milestone.

"This church has persevered, continues to provide and its mission
of service to families of the community, it’s outreach to young people
in particular,” said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. "And
it’s imparting to each and every generation the internal teachings of
church, and that’s a good thing for all of us from every faith."

Church leaders say recent renovations have improved much of the historic building.
