Though some records list the
beginning of the church in 1898, the church was organized by Rev. Welsh
in 1901 on the first block of South Adams Street. It was later moved
to the 600 block of West North Street. Wanting a better location,
the church relocated to the corner of North King and West Welsh Streets
in 1928 under the leadership of Rev. Haynes.
Plans for a new church began
under the leadership of Rev. Robert Harris. It was completed when
Rev. Willie B. Sweat served as pastor. The church was consecrated
in October of 1980. The cornerstone was laid at the southeast corner
on October 10, 1982. |
