This church was founded on May 18th of 1847 by Reverend White and four other members who were tired of travelling to Manhattan for their place of worship. Reverend White was a well-known abolitionist, and the church and members' homes were often used as sanctuaries for runaway slaves. Since then, the Concord Baptist Church of Christ has dedicated time and thought to the African-American community and the current issues it faces. They provide the community with Sunday worship, Bible study, youth programs and music programs, as well as activism and service within the community.
