Abstract:

The Memorial Baptist Church, a landmark in Greenville's religious history, has served its members for over 150 years. This church, constituted on July 2, 1827, had 23 members in October 1827. Thomas D. Mason, the church's first pastor, established the Baptist Benevolent Society to raise money for traveling ministers. Reverend Thomas Carrick helped construct a new church on Greene Street, dedicated on October 12, 1890 and demolished after the completion of another new church on Greenville Boulevard in 1973.
