Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church

The Mt. Moriah family realizes that we are indeed the beneficiaries of the love of God, and of the wisdom and noble deed of the pioneers of our great church. It was the year 1867. The sweetness of Emancipation still filled the air! Freedom, bold and fresh, was electric ---- sending sparks of exhilaration and anticipation through the bodies of former slaves. It was time to leave the white First Baptist Church. They felt that the time had come to establish a place of worship where as Christians  they could sing, give praise and pray with the fullness of their spirit, unrestricted by racial barriers.
