From Galveston.com - Galveston's African American Historic Places

The church was organized in 1883 on the corner of 30th at Avenue I as West Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church. The Reverend Patrick served as pastor and held Sunday services from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

As church growth flourished, property at 32nd and Broadway was purchased and the present building was erected. The Reverend B. J. Hall was among the early pastors to provide leadership and help the church progress.
