Greater Tree Mount Temple Baptist Church and Anointed Rock Baptist Church have merged congregations, and Rev. Aristide Brown, the longtime pastor of Tree Mount Temple has agreed to serve as interim pastor until the church calls a pastor.
Rev. Brown retired from Tree Mount Temple a few years ago, and the church called Rev. J. J. Rector III, who had interned under Rev. Brown for a year, as its pastor. Conflicts with Rev. Rector over the established church bylaws led to several members leaving the church for various churches throughout the city, members being relieved of their duties and Rev. Rector eventually leaving the church, the day after the 2009 Martin Luther King March.
In the meantime, Rev. Brown had organized Anointed Rock Baptist Church on East Commerce Street.
The decision for the two churches to merge congregations came during a fellowship service between the two churches, in which Rev. Brown preached at Greater Tree Mount Temple. |
