McCANN MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

 

The McCann Missionary Baptist Church was formed and organized on July 22, 1990 under the leadership of Rev. Australia Campbell. They first met under the Magnolia tree in the front yard of Bro. Frank and Mrs. Stella Williams. Services continued to be held in the Williams home and the Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church, Vernal, for the first few years.

Some brief highlights in their church history are:

- Mrs. Emma Campbell allowed Rev. Campbell to build on her

property on August 31, 199l.

- First revival was held in the winter of 1991 with Rev. Charles

Pierce and Rev. Cunningham.

- First deacon was ordained April 25, 1995.

- The Pastor, Rev. Australia Williams, passed away December 28, 1997.

- Rev. Malachi Jones accepted the pastorate of the church in

January 1998 and was installed on April 25, 1998.

The services of McCann Missionary Baptist Church meet on the first, second and fourth

Sundays. Sunday School begins at 10:00 A.M. with Morning Worship at 11:00 A.M. Prayer and

Teachers’ Meeting is held every Wednesday at 6:00 P.M.

The church membership consists of thirty members.

One of the church’s youth activities is a special Youth Praise Team.

The church is located at 1679 Will Pet Road, Lucedale (Mohoba).

As the congregation looks toward the future, two of their favorite sayings are: "You ain’t

seen nothing yet;" and "Who did it?" "Jesus".
