It takes a TEAM!
Since 1965, our founding mothers, have dedicated their lives to serving the people of God! From late night ministry meetings, early morning prayer sessions, these ladies stand in the gap for our salvation. The pillars of the church are founded on them!

We Can’t Beat God’s Giving
Rev. Lee E. Mathews was inspired by God to organize a church. On January 3rd, 1965 Rev. Mathews began having church service in his vacant home at 1214 E.22nd Street. Rev. Mathews organized the church with his family and Dorothy Thomas (Sister-in-law) family. Not long thereafter Pastor Gladys Nolan, Reed family, Ella Cotton family and many friends came and helped in the worship service. Pastor asked all to fast and prayer for a church name. God revealed to Sister Ella that the name should be Corinthian Baptist Church and it was accepted by Pastor Mathews.
