A Living Legacy: the Berean Baptist Church 157th Anniversary

the land was valued at $240, where they built "the little church on the hill" established by a group of abolitionists and free blacks for they knew that was God's will they named it Berean Baptist and its congregation was integrated but after only a short time the membership separated the church continued to prosper for the members were godly inspired they would not let anything keep them down not even those two fires the congregation would continue to rebuild for their faith could not be pricked they got smart and moved two blocks over and erect a church made out of bricks it was a little chapel yet membership would continue on the up swing the church needed more room, so they then added on two wings from Dr. Brown to Drs. Matthews, Eldridge and the Rev. Dr. James anointed men of God who helped Berean establish a good name from Rev. Roman and now Dr. Griffith with their powerful evangelistic ministries and after 157 years Berean is a great church with a lasting and living legacy and with the Lord's continued blessings, His mercy and His grace The Historic Berean Baptist Church will always be the place where anyone and everyone can come to get godly inspiration for Berean is the church that will set on the path to salvation
