All Nations Baptist Church occupies the building that was originally the Union Course Baptist Church in the area known as Union Course, L.I., so named for a nearby race track. The Rev. John Donaldson was ordained and installed as the first pastor in 1895, a post he held for 35 years. At some point, Union Course became known as Woodhaven in the borough of Queens, and the society followed suit by changing its name to Woodhaven Baptist Church. Today, the congregation is known as All Nations Baptist Church.
