On the 9th of October, 1825, I preached in English, which, as I was informed, was the first sermon ever delivered at or near that place. Between our place and Chicago was a wilderness, in which we took five nights&#8217; lodging on the tour. ( McCoy, Isaac, History of Baptist Indian missions. Having been in Chicago previously there is a need for churches with about ten fundamental Baptist churches in the city at most for 3 million people. It is a very hard field with only one in 30 years becoming self-supporting with land.) \u2014Near the end of May, in the year 1867, at the annual meeting for that year of the Home Mission Society of the Baptist denomination of the United States, held in Chicago, the president of the society, Hon. J. M. Hoyt, of Cleveland, in his opening address, said, \u201cIn September 1833, the Pottawattomies, 7000 strong, were assembled here where we are now convened, Here they deliberated, and finally, through the agency of their chiefs, for calla ceded the territory of Illinois and the site of the city of Chicago to the United States government. Having done \u2018hie they passed on to the Mississippi. Im- mediately the American Baptist Home Mission Society detailed a Freeman (Rev. Allen B. Freeman) to stand as a sentinel at this post.\u201d The attention of the secretary of the society, Dr. Jonathan Going, had been called to this point in a letter to Rev. C. G. Sommers, of New York, by Dr. John T. Temple, then a resident here, and a member of the Baptist denomination. \u2018 We have no servant of the Lord Jesus Christ,\u201d writes Dr. Temple, \u2018to proclaim the glad tidings of salvation. I write to beg you will see Dr. Gane and ask that a young man of first-rate talent, whose whole heart is in the cause of Christ, may be sent out immediately, before the ground shall be occupied by some other organization. I will myself become responsible for $200 per annum for such a missionary.\u2019\u2019 This passage in Dr. Temple&#8217;s letter was sent by Dr. Going to Allen B. Freeman, a young man who was then just finishing his studies, at what is now Madison University, in Hamilton, N.Y. Mr. Freeman was the son of Rey. Rufus B. Freeman, an esteemed Baptist minister of Central New York, described to Dr. Temple by Dr. Going as \u2018\u2018a talented, pious, and efficient man.\u201d Such he proved himself to be even in the brief period of the ministry performed by him as a missionary of the society at Chicago. He arrived at Chicago in August, 1833, finding a home with Dr. Temple, and entering at once upon earnest and diligent labor, not only in preaching, but \u2018 from house to house.\u2019\u2019? Measures were almost immediately taken for the erection of a house of worship. \u201cIt was,\u2019? says Cyrus Bentley, Esq., in his \u201c History of the First Baptist Church,\u201d \u201ca humble edifice, designed both as a place of religious worship and as a school-house, and cost when completed the sum of $600, $150 of which was in arrears, and remained as a debt upon the prop- erty.\u201d Oct. 19, 1833, a church of 15 members was organized,\u2014the First Baptist church of Chicago and the first Baptist church in the whole northwestern region north of Peoria, save one, the church at Plainfield having come into existence a few months earlier. Mr. Freeman continued in service only one year and a half. In December 1834, while upon one of his itinerating tours, having administered the rite of baptism at Bristol, in the Fox River, as he was returning homeward his horse gave out, and much of the journey had to be made on foot, amidst inclement weather and great exposure. The consequence was a fever, of which he died Dec. 15, 1834. His last words were, \u2018Tell my revered father that I die at my ration and in my Master&#8217;s work.\u201d These were the beginnings of Baptist history in Chicago. Subsequent events must be noticed less in oe foam Freeman was succeeded, in 1835, by Rey, I. T. Hinton. After him came Rev. \u00a9. B. Smith, in en In 1843, Rey. E. H. Hamlin became pastor, and in October 1845, Rev. Miles San- ford. After some two years of service he also resigned, and for fourteen months following Rev. Luther Stone, editor of the Watchman of the Prairies, served as acting pastor. In September, 1848, Rey. Elisha Tucker, D.D., became pastor, continuing in service until 1851, when he resigned, the pulpit remaining vacant until October 1852, when Rey. John C. Burroughs became pastor. Almost immediately upon the commencement of his labors the house of worship, which had been built in 1843, under the pastorate of Rev. EH. H. Iamlin, was burned. Measures were taken at once for the rebuilding; the cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1853, and the house dedicated on November 12 following. In 1856, Mr. Burroughs resigned, and Dr. W. G. Howard, of Rochester, was called to the pastorate. He was succeeded, in 1859, by Dr. W. W. Everts, and he, in 1879, by Dr. Geo. C. Lorimer, the present pastor. The second Baptist church in order of time in Chicago was the Tabernacle church, composed of 32 members of the First Church, who left that body in 1842 and organized upon the west side of the river, This church was served by successive pastors, among others Rey. Lewis Raymond, Rey. Archibald Kenyon, Rey. J. E. Kenney, and Rev. Nathaniel Calver, D.D., until the year 1864, when an important change bk place, affecting favorably the situation of all the Baptist churches in the city. In that year the First church sold its prop- erty at the corner of La Salle and Washington Streets to the Chamber of Commerce, receiving for it the sum of $65,000. Of this sum, such use was made as should be helpful to the other churches of the city. The house, built, as we have said, in 1853, was given to such members of the church as should unite with the Tabernacle church upon the west side of the river, with a location more fayorable, the resulting organization to be called the Second Baptist Church of Chicago. It was accordingly taken down, removed to the west side, and there re-erected at the corner of Morgan and Mon- roe Streets. In the union of the Tabernacle church with members of the First church living on the west side of the river a strong, efficient church was formed. The removal and rebuilding of the house cost some $20,000. Rev. E. J. Goodspeed, of Janesville, was called to the pastorate, and years of signal Christian activity, growth, and prosperity followed. Dr. Goodspeed, in the later years of his pastorate, was assisted by his brother, Rey. T. W. Goodspeed. Upon the termination of their joint pastorate, occasioned by the failing health of the senior pastor, Dr. Galusha Anderson, of Brooklyn, was called. He was succeeded by Dr. John Ped- die, of Philadelphia. Dr. Peddie having accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in New York City, was succeeded by the Rev. W. M. Lawrence, of Philadelphia. The third Baptist church in order of time in &#8216; Chicago was the Edina Place, organized by members of the First Church, by whom a house of worship was built at the corner of Edina Place and Tlarrison Street. Rey. Robert Boyd was called as the first pastor. Under his remarkable ministry, the church enjoyed great prosperity. A better location was found for it in due time at the corner of Wabash Avenue and Eighteenth Street; subsequently it removed to Michigan Avenue and Twenty-third Street, erecting there a fine house of worship and changing its name to the Michigan Avenue Baptist church. The successive pastors have been Robert Boyd, D.D., E. G. Taylor, D.D., Samuel Baker, D.D., Jesse B. Thomas, D.D., Rev. Patterson. Rey. K. B. Tupper is the acting pastor at present. Union Park Baptist church was the fourth in order of date organized in Chicago, This took place in September, 1856, the location chosen being near Union Park. Rey. A. J. Joslyn was the first pastor. After him came Rey. J. S. Mahan, LE. G. Taylor, D.D., Rev. Florence McCarthy, D. B. Cheney, D.D., and E. B. Hulbert, D.D., the last named being still in service. The house of worship now occupied\u2014the second built by the church in the course of its history\u2014stands at the corner of . West Washington and Paulina Streets. The name of the church has been changed to the Fourth Baptist church of Chicago. In November, 1857, the North Baptist church was organized, under the ministry of Rev. J. A. Smith, of the Standard. The place of meeting was at first the lecture room of Rush Medical College, on the north side of the river. In the following spring and summer a house of worship was built at the corner of Ohio and Dearborn Streets. The church having become sufficiently strong to sustain a pastor, Mr. Smith resigned, and Dr. S. W. Lynd was called. He was succeeded by Rev. A. H. Strong, now president of the Rochester Theological Seminary, and he by Rev. A. A. Kendrick, now president of Shurtleff College. Mr. Kendrick was succeeded by Reuben Jeffrey, D.D., and he by Rev. O. T. Walker. In the great fire of 1871 the house of worship of the church\u2014a new edifice upon Chicago Avenue, purchased from a Unitarian church\u2014was destroyed, and the organization broken up. The ground it had held remained mostly unoccupied until the organization of the Central church by Rev. E.O. Taylor in 1877. \u2018This prosperous society may be regarded as the successor of the North church, and as continuing its history. The North Star Baptist church is also upon the north side of the river, at the corner of Division and Sedgwick Streets. It began as a mission of the First Church, established in 1860. A property was there acquired at a cost of some $30,000, consisting of a chapel and parsonage. These were destroyed by the fire of 1871, but rebuilt, through the efforts of Dr. Everts. The mission became a church in 1870, Rey. Geo. L. Wrenn being its first pastor. After a service of five years, he was succeeded by Rey. E. R. Pierce. After him came Rev. J. M. Whitehead, who was succeeded by Rev. R. P. Al- lison, and he by Rev. Joseph Rowley, the present pastor. The Indiana Avenue Baptist church, at the corner of Indiana Avenue and Thirtieth Street, in the south part of the city, was organized in 1864. It grew out of a mission founded there by the First church in 1863, a neat house of worship being F. M. Ellis, J. W. Custis, D.D., and Rev. James | erected in that year upon lots donated for the purpose. The organization of a church occurred in the year following. J. A. Smith, D.D., served as pastor five years. He was followed by M. S. Riddle, D.D., to whom succeeded Rev. F. D. Rickerson, followed by Rev. W. W. Everts, Jr. Upon the re- moval of the First church to the corner of South Park Avenue and Thirty-first Street, in 1875, the Indiana Avenue church was dissolved, and its members united with the First church. Near the close of 1868 the University Place church was organized in the chapel of the university, being composed of members of the Indiana Avenue and First churches living in that vicinity. J. A. Smith, D.D., served as the first pastor, being followed by Wm. Hague, D.D., who was succeeded as acting pastor by J. B. Jackson, D.D., and he by Rey. A. J. Frost, now of California. A. Owen, D.D., came next, who was succeeded by Rev. J. T. Burhoe, the present pastor. The house of worship built by the church stands on Thirty-fifth Street near Rhodes Avenue. The Western Avenue church, on the west side of the river, was organized in 1869. Its first pastor, Rev. John Gordon, was signally successful in building up the church to a strong and independent position. The present pastor, Rev. C, Perrin, is also much prospered in his work. Other churches in the vicinity are the Centennial, organized in 1875; Coventry Street, 1870; South church, 1867; Central, 1877; Olivet (colored), 1853; Providence (colored), 1871; Dearborn Street, 1875; Twenty-fifth Street; with a Danish, a Swedish, and a German. Mention should also be made of the Tabernacle, conducted by Mr. B. F. Jacobs, and various missions in different parts of the city, sustained by the several churches, From the Baptist Encyclopedia by William Cathcart <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/awarningministry.com\/index.php\/2024\/03\/04\/chicago-baptist-churches\/\"><strong>Chicago Baptist Churches &#8211; Earnestly Contend For The Faith Jude 3 (awarningministry.com)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Curran &#8211; (11) Facebook &#8211; You searched for Isaac McCoy &#8211; Earnestly Contend For The Faith Jude 3 (awarningministry.com) AdminTop Contributor&nbsp;&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;Daily Baptist Encyclopedia Chicago, Baptist Churches in.
