First Pilgrim Calvary Missionary Baptist Church
About Us :
The Mt. Calvary Baptist Church was organized in November 19, 1888. A charter was filed on May 15, 1897 under the leadership of the late Rev. Thomas Brown as pastor. The charter was composed of ten articles by which the church would be governed. This document was received and granted on June 3, 1897.
The Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church was founded by the late Reverend Gradison Burnett in 1862. The church was located in an area of Ascension Parish called High Paray. In September 1909, there was a great storm that blew the building down. Services were held in homes until the church was rebuilt. Shortly thereafter, the church was reconstructed and services were resumed. The members then decided to move the church to its present site, an area that was called ?Louisville? at the time.
On September 5, 2004, the membership voted to unite with the Mt Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church to become the First Pilgrim Calvary Missionary Baptist Church.
Vision :
To create a change and growth in people's lives through the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, fulfilling God's plan to influence, motivate, elevate, activate, and liberate the Soul and Spirit in the Name of Jesus Christ. God is establishing a strong spiritual indigenous Church in the town of Geismar.
