Baptist Church to organize
their house of worship as a
cornerstone on 13 th and
Woodland Avenues.
Wherever i he i inspiration
came from, it remains to be
the catalyst for an ever burning
determination to'serve
God.
The church was first
organized in 1902 under the
leadership of Reverend L.
Y all way. The first worship
services were held the basement
of what later became a
church building. It was
under the direction of Rev.
