A 2015 Texas Historical Marker provides some history:
In 1884, Rev. A.R. Griggs (d. 1922) and Jane Johnson Calloway Endsley (d. 1933) organized the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church to serve the African American Baptist community of Dallas. After a series of relocations starting in 1907, the congregation settled at its current address in 1950. Rev. L.J. Taylor and his wife, Portia C. Ross Taylor, led the congregation during this formative period, and became instrumental for education advocacy in the community. In 2001, the church purchased additional property at 1607 McCoy Street to accommodate membership. Due to its longstanding legacy and vibrant membership, Macedonia continues to be an anchor for the Dallas community.
The church also has an active Facebook page.
