Mr. Galt plans to stake out bold territory from his first sermon, which he’s already titled, “A Church in the Wild” as a rebuttal to “No Church in the Wild,” an amoral, drug-filled, sex-drenched rap by native Brooklynite Jay-Z…

The Rev. Jamison Galt of Christ Church will no longer have to conduct his ministry on the street or in congregants’ houses. He’s been preaching for two and a half years, but he finally has a pulpit.

Mr. Galt’s Christ Church Clinton Hill will hold its first formal services at Emmanuel Baptist Church on Lafayette Avenue on Sunday — giving a home to the mini-congregation of 60 souls.

“There are many things that churches are called to do — and we’ve been doing that,” said Mr. Galt, 34, referring to helping the less-fortunate and other community outreach. “But if a church does nothing else, it is a worshipping community. So having a home feels like we’ve arrived. It feels like we’re doing what we’re most called to do.”

Of course, not every pastor hears the same calling — and Mr. Galt plans to stake out bold territory from his first sermon, which he’s already titled, “A Church in the Wild” as a rebuttal to “No Church in the Wild,” an amoral, drug-filled, sex-drenched rap by native Brooklynite Jay-Z and Kanye West that concludes, “Love is cursed by monogamy/That’s somethin’ that the pastor don’t preach.”

Mr. Galt has a different take: “There is a church in the urban wild that has answers to those who are unbelievers.”

It’s unclear if Mr. Z will be in the pews on Sunday, but his world view will be very much on display, Mr. Galt promised.

“Jay Z is from the area, so he seemed like a good interlocutor for our first sermon,” he said. “I’m not issuing a strong negative rebuttal to the imagery of the song. But I’ll tease out the ways most of us — me included — often proceed in life as if relationships (sex), power, money, as caricatured in the song, are ours to be used as we see fit, and how that often leads to division [and] hurt.”
