Church on Harlem goes back to Harlem
By Forest Park Review,
4 days agoIn 1890, when the United States had 42 states and Benjamin Harrison was President, the German Baptist Church was formed (now Forest Park Baptist) after breaking from the First Baptist Church of Chicago. A newspaper clipping from 1904 states, “The work of German Baptists dates back to the early seventies, at which time several members located in Oak Park and Harlem erected a small edifice at the corner of Franklin Street and Marengo Avenue which afterwards sold and was from that time used as a Mission Sunday School.”
