Grace Baptist Church

In 1888, five Negro Baptist women, with great faith and courage founded Grace Baptist Mission in Mount Vernon, New York. Mount Vernon became home to Blacks who left the south in search of a better life. In the places from which they had come, there was an old familiar institution which had held the southern Black communities together; the church. The "promised land" could not be God's land without God's church. Thus, these five instruments of God, knowing that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen", began God's work that was to become the Grace Baptist Church of today with more than 3000 faithfuls calling it home.
