Bronx Baptist Church
331 East 187th Street
Bronx, N.Y. 10458
http://www.bronxbaptist.org
The Bronx Baptist Church began in the summer of 1964, at first meeting in an apartment, and then in a two-family house at 2024 Honeywell Avenue that was purchased by the Baptist Home Mission Board. On Thursday, November 6, 1964, the Bronx Baptist Chapel was dedicated to the glory of God in a memorable service of praise and thanksgiving. Over the next few years the congregation and Sunday school increased in numbers, and a search began for a larger church facility. In 1970, the congregation moved to their present location on East 187th Street, purchasing the former Bethlehem Covenant Church. |
