Church History

On March 10, 1928, a group of twelve missionaries met at the home of Brother and Sister Burlson who resided at 1522 Greenfield Avenue in North Chicago, Illinois.  The result of that meeting was the birth of the First Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church.  In 1962, the pastor at that time was Pastor Porter.  Pastor Porter appointed Reverend Peter Goudeaux, Jr. to head this building fund for a  new church was started, located at 1529 Elizabeth Avenue, North Chicago, Illinois a suburb of Chicago, Illinois.  In 1966 Reverend Peter Goudeaux, Jr., was appointed as Pastor.  Pastor Goudeaux, Jr. served as pastor for twenty-six years, retiring March 13, 1994.

On May 15, 1994, Pastor Eugene Roberson was installed as the new pastor.  Today under his leadership, the church continues to grow and thrive.  Pastor Roberson’s motto such as “Stay on the Wall, and God Is Good All the Time” has been adapted by all the members of the church.  We know that whatever we do we must always put God first, and never cease in our prayers.  First Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church will continue to thrive.
