ABOUT US

History

Evergreen Baptist Church was organized on September 19th, 1953 under the leadership of the late Reverend Johnnie Tucker, Sr. The first service was held on 1002 Martin Street in Atlanta, Georgia with only five members, guest ministers, and Christian friends in attendance. The church was organized in the name of Jesus, as head, and was built on a solid foundation by faith, wisdom, truth, grace, love, and understanding. The pastor and church prayed and prayed until the Lord blessed them to hold their first church service at 884 Neal Street in Atlanta, Georgia. It was at this time that the membership began to grow. On October 25th, 1953, Choir No. 1 became the first choir in the history of the church. Deacon Ephrian Tucker, Sr., Deacon Durell Tucker, and Deacon Cecil Ivey (all deceased) were the first three deacons ordained on July 25th, 1954. The church then moved to a better location on Pryor Road. In 1956, the J. Tucker Specials were regained. In 1957, the Gospel Chorus and Usher Board No. 1 were established. The church then moved first to Alice Street and then to Washington Street. In September of 1969, under the leadership of Reverend Tucker, the church moved to 303 4th Avenue, Decatur, Georgia, which is the current location. In January of 1978, Reverend Tucker organized the Senior Choir after disbanding Choir No. 1 in 1974. Through out the years to come, the Lord blessed us with other Usher Boards, the Nurses Guild, and the Willing Workers’ Club. Reverend Tucker resigned from his pastoral duties in January of 1983 due to illness. Many were saddened as Reverend Tucker was called to take a small rest on August 25th, 1984. Reverend Tucker was a wonderful leader, teacher, and father. The Lord did not take his loving hands from around us. He comforted us while he kept us showered with more of his blessings by way of another lovely pastor and leader, Reverend Henry E. Loyal, Sr. Reverend Loyal is leading us on by the grace of God. In the spring of 1994, we broke ground to build our new edifice and in May 1995, the Lord blessed us to march into our new building. Under his leadership the church has seen the establishment of several organizations: Junior Deacon Board, Spiritual Growth Workshop, Trustee Board, Pastor's Aide, Prison Ministry, and the Youth in Action. The Senior Choir has now become the Gospel Mass Choir and the Young Adult Choir is now the Anointed Voices of Praise. The church was then blessed in 2000 with the Ushers Ministry which combined all the Ushers Boards into one ministry. The church was also blessed with the inception of the Praise & Testimony Service. In 2005, the Shirley A. Loyal Choir and H.E. Loyal male Choir was organized. Evergreen Baptist Church is still continuing to grow by the grace of God.

A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR REV.H. E. LOYAL

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is

my strength

and

my shield;

my heart trusted in Him,

and I am helped:

therefore my heart

greatly rejoiceth;

and with my song

will I praise

Him.

Evergreen we have moved on into another year, that year is 2012!

The Lord has shown us LOVE, MERCY, UNDERSTANDING, KINDNESS, LONG SUFFERING, COMPASSION, and the list goes on and on. Just as the Lord Jesus Christ has given and shown all things to us, He is commanding us to likewise do one another, because this is the Christian way. We not only ask the Lord to forgive us our sins, and save us, but teach us how to love one another and treat everyone like the BIble teaches us to, because this is the Christians' way of life. My Christian Brothers and Sisters, it is time to stop listening to people and start listening to the voice of the Lord Jesus, and develop a relationship with the Holy Ghost.

READ, MEDITATE, PRAY, AND STUDY

THE BIBLE!
