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 nineteenth-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. At some point, the Congregational congregation sold the church and it was operating as a Lutheran church in the mid twentieth 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.[1] It was restored between 1988 and 1993, and as of 2008 was still in use.[2]
