An Abbreviated History of
Our Church
Greater St. John Missionary Baptist Church was established on February 8, 1886, with less than 25 people. A small room in a brush arbor on a small tract of land was transferred to the trustees. Although no one knew then that February would become Black History month, it is appropriate and fitting that we can now observe our church anniversary as we look at our church history.
