Resurrection Baptist Church began humbly. It started as Baptist Members for Meaningful and Positive Change. A small group met in homes. They prayed. They planned. They dreamed of a place to worship together. Their first service was held in the Mildred H Pumphrey Recreational Center. That was October 10 1993. Reverend Louis Cunningham presided.
From there Resurrection Baptist Church grew. It moved to Emmanuel Seventh Day Adventist Church. Then to Sherwood High School. The church kept moving. Its faith kept growing. The name Resurrection Baptist Church was officially adopted in 1994. This reflected their commitment to a new beginning. A new life in Christ.
Many pastors guided Resurrection Baptist Church. Reverend Leonard P Massie Jr served as interim pastor then as pastor for years. Reverend Don Franklin followed. Then Minister Austin Maxwell served as interim pastor. Reverend Leonard P Massie Jr returned. Finally Reverend Dr Marcus Jerkins led the church. He expanded its reach through social media. He even preached overseas.
