| Abstract:

This collection contains the administrative and organizational records of the Marcy
Avenue Baptist Church, which began as an outgrowth of the Washington Avenue Baptist
Church. The Church, located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, was formed
in 1872 and disbanned in 1939, after which its building became home to the Concord
Baptist Church of Christ. The church experienced rapid growth and underwent several
expansions in the 1870s and 1880s. By 1900, Marcy Avenue Baptist Church was the largest
Baptist church in Brooklyn. Materials in the collection include membership rolls,
registers, and marriage stubs, as well as Deacons reports, Ladies Aid Society reports,
Sunday School Superintendent reports, Benevolent Society reports, reports of the Board
of Trustees, and general Church statistics.
