Description
The Community Baptist Church was founded in 1932. The parishioners are majority African American. Under Reverand Joseph M. Wilson two plots of land were purchased to build a new church in the 1940s. In 1949, a cornerstone for the new church was laid. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Reverand Clarence Kenner improved the facilities. In the 1990s, Reverand Lester W. Taylor Jr. started a motion to create a new facility. Construction on the new church began in June 2008 and was finished in 2011.
