Fifth Street Baptist Church - Richmond Virginia Details
Founded by Faith, Focused on Family! We are a Family Winning the World to Christ, through Worship, Word & Work.Fifth Street Baptist Church was organized in 1880, when a group of members belonging to Richmond First African American Church, First African Baptist Church, asked for their letters of dismissal. With these letters they removed themselves from their congregation and organized our church in the historic Jackson Ward/Navy Hill section of Richmond.Since our inception in 1880, Fifth Street has been blessed to have eleven Pastors:Rev. Henry H. MitchellRev. A.P. DunbarRev. Wesley F. GrahamRev. Alexander E. EdwardsRev. Samuel C. ManuelDr. Thomas J. KingDr. Charles S. MorrisDr. Christopher C. ScottRev. Henry C. Gregory, IIIRev. Roscoe D. Cooper, Jr. andRev. F. Todd GrayOur current Pastor, Rev. F. Todd Gray, has been with us since 1995. God has always blessed Fifth Street with Pastors with vision and Pastor Gray continues in this tradition. Pastor Gray has proven not only to be a man after God's own heart, but a man seeking to serve both God and all of his people. Through Pastor Gray's leadership, Fifth Street is once again experiencing tremendous growth in all areas of our fellowship. In 2005, we dedicated our GRACE Center, (God's Redemption and Community Empowerment Center). It is a state of the art Child Development Center and Catering facility.This marked the beginning of BKC (Bringing the Kingdom to the Community) movement. We continue to provide holistic and innovative ministry in our urban context. It is our desire to continue to improve our facilities, provide healthcare for those who cannot afford it, and establish a Christian Academy for our children. Through these efforts, we believe our community will be enhanced, our people will be blessed and God's Kingdom will be advanced
