History
The history of the family of God at Concord is similar to other Churches. In 1916, sixteen believers gathered for prayer at the home of Sister Lydia Glover who resided at 14 Northfield Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Each of these individuals were inspired to serve God according to sound Biblical principles. The realization that the group needed a more established place to gather for worship, encouragement, outreach and missions led to the formation of what is now Concord Baptist Church of Boston. As a result of the growth in membership, over the years the congregation have moved to four locations. Each move has provided an opportunity for expanding ministry. The present site, the fifth such location for Concord, was built in 1868 and was purchased in April 1946 from the United Presbyterian Church. Our history is not without some challenges. On November 2, 1975 the Concord Church building was ravaged by fire. A massive rebuilding effort resulted in the restoration of the devastated Church building in 1977. Concord Church has been blessed through the leadership and vision of six pastors since its founding: The Reverend William Dabbs 1920-1936 The Reverend Arthur J. Spratley 1938-1961 The Reverend Charles G. Adams 1962-1969 The Reverend James Coleman 1970-1981 The Reverend Owen Cardwell 1983-1986 The Reverend Dr. Conley Hughes, Jr. 1988- |
