St. Louis Street Missionary Baptist Church
St. Louis Street Missionary Baptist Church, Historical Baptist church in Mobile, Alabama.
Located at 108 North Dearborn Street, this Classical Revival and Renaissance style church features a symmetrical facade with large columns and detailed architectural elements.
Established in 1836 as part of Mobile's African Baptist Church, the congregation moved to the current building designed by C.L. Hutchinsson in 1872.
The church hosted the seventh Colored Baptist Convention of Alabama in 1874, which initiated the foundation of Selma University four years later.
The church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features, with entry through the main entrance on Dearborn Street.
Reverend Charles Leavens made history as the first African American minister of this congregation, succeeding Reverend Joshua Hawthorn in 1860.
