The 3 Churches

These churches started in 1865

And one in 97

Each guaranteed the newly freed

That they would end up in Heaven

    The Mt. Sinai Baptist Church was created in the Dupree School building in the year 1897 near its present location. The church was established by Rev. P.A. Northington and many others. The building was later modified and eventually replaced 85 years later.

     The Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church was established by Rev. C.L. McPherson Sr.  Services were held in a brush arbor until the church was built in 1897. A new church was erected in 1979 under the supervision of Rev. T.B. Reeves.

     The China Chapel Church was established in 1865.  It was made with Sam I. Smith as the minister. It is located at 316 N. Liberty.

  

   Well that was interesting.  Our next stop is going to be a little less than lively, though. We're going to the New and Old Montgomery Cemetery.
