St John Missionary Baptist Church
Dr. M. L. Jemison, Senior Pastor
St. John Missionary Baptist Church was organized on January 12, 1919 by approximately 80 members, with Dr. W. D. Hill as the first Pastor. The church operated under his leadership until September 1919, when he was called to pastor a church in Missouri. After Reverend Hill’s departure, the congregation searched for a new pastor while the deacons of St. John lead the church.
