Home We Came To Be

1930's

In 1930, Rev. Clarence Mickens along with a group of like-minded believers founded and organized what is now the First Corinthian Baptist Church. In 1932, after observing the progress of the new church, Rev. Mickens resigned as Pastor in order to establish other churches. The late Rev. Kennedy was the new successor to the pastorate. Under his leadership the congregation was able to secure their first permanent church home at 772 North 38th Street. Rev. Kennedy’s tenure as pastor was brief as he relinquished his pastorate to return to Virginia. The church was without a shepherd for a short time. Rev. Thomas Cowan, pastor of Warren Street Baptist Church agreed to have joint services with First Corinthian. The Lord blessed the two churches and they merged under the name of First Corinthian. Rev. Cowan died suddenly in 1935.

2000's

On December 23, 2004, the Lord in His sovereign power, called Pastor Silas Thomas home to his reward. The church continued on for two years under the leadership of Chairman Jesse J. Moses. He was assisted in this tremendous undertaking by Reverend Vernel McDonald and the ministerial team of First Corinthian. On Sunday, January 7, 2007, the third generation of Thomas preachers began his pastoral duties. Under the REVEREND DENNIS EARL THOMAS, the church continues to thrive and draw more souls unto the Lord! After leading the First Corinthian “Love Family” to new spiritual heights, Pastor Dennis Earl Thomas was called by the Lord from labor to rest on December 7, 2018. The First Corinthian Baptist Church is currently led by Deacon Board, Robert Bonner, Jr., Chairman of Deacon Board. He is assisted by Reverend Gayle E. Taylor who oversees the ministerial staff.
