Ninth Street Baptist Celebrates 150 Years | Historic Church in Lawrence, KS

My good friend and former pastor, Rev. Delmar A. White and his church, Ninth Street Baptist Church in Lawrence, KS celebrated 150 years of service. From what I learned, the church was erected in 1863 - WOW! The church congregation had week-long activities but on Saturday evening, the church participated in a formal banquet dinner at the Alvamar Country Club. The guest speaker for the evening was Dr. Vernon Howard, senior pastor of Second Baptist Church, KCMO. Sunday morning was their "climax service" where Dr. Jesse T. Williams, Jr., senior pastor of Convent Avenue Baptist Church, Harlem, NY.

Congratulations Ninth Street Baptist Church for your steadfast dedication.

I attended 9th Street when I attended the University of Kansas and these pictures capture the love and tradition of this powerful church body. These pictures are amazing...they make me miss "home".
