Silver Star Missionary Baptist Church

Church History ...

Pastor V.J. Vasser founded the Silver Cloud Missionary Baptist Church in 1958.

In April 1960, the merger of Bright Star and Silver Cloud Missionary Baptist Churches formed, Silver Star Missionary Baptist Church.

In May 1964, Silver Star moved to a new location on Cadillac at Mack in Detroit, Michigan.

Shortly after this move, Pastor Vasser retired from his full time job to Pastor the church on a full time basis. His salary was $115.00 per week.

After 16 years at the Cadillac location, October 1980, Silver Star moved to Chelsea St. in Detroit, Michigan.

God continued to smile on Pastor Vasser’s leadership resulting in a mortgage burning.
Church building located on Chelsea at Annsbury.

After an illness, the renowned Pastor V.J. Vasser died on February 26, 1996.

In April 1996, the officers, ministers and membership of the Silver Star Missionary Baptist Church voted to elect our wonderful leader and Pastor, Rev. Leroy Hurst, Jr.
