History Of Mildred Baptist Church
Kingdom Building
Our History
Building Community Through Generations
Mildred Chapel Missionary Baptist Church held its first service in the new sanctuary on the first Sunday in June 2002, led by Reverend Shirley Hill and Reverend Garry Bryant.
Seventeen years later, we continue to enjoy these services, guided by the
Holy Spirit and our current pastor, Reverend Walter Cherry, Jr.
In 2009, under Pastor Cherry’s leadership and with the support of the
congregation, a new project was initiated to expand our dining room. By the
third Sunday in October 2010, we celebrated two major milestones: the
church’s 100th Anniversary and the completion of our new Fellowship Hall.
This Fellowship Hall was dedicated and named The W.C. Fellowship Hall inhonor of Pastor Rev. Walter Cherry, Jr.

Guiding us with Faith and Compassion
Rev. Walter Cherry, Jr. served as pastor of Mildred Baptist Church for over 50
years, from 1973 until his passing in June 2024. Under his leadership, the
church built a new sanctuary in 1991, marking a significant milestone in its
growth. Rev. Cherry also guided the church to financial freedom with the
mortgage burning in 1997.
He led the creation of the W.C. Fellowship Hall in 2010, celebrating the
church’s 100th anniversary. His unwavering faith and dedication to the
congregation left a lasting legacy, impacting both the spiritual and
physical growth of Mildred Baptist Church.
In 2024, Rev. Garry Bryant was elected as pastor, continuing the work Rev.
Cherry began. His vision and service will never be forgotten.
