GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT

It is indeed a blessing to greet all of you as well as our Empire Baptist Missionary Family through the technology of our website. This feature will allow us to keep current and advised of all of our events and activities. Our Convention is blessed with a great and wonderful fellowship of churches and pastors and I am humbled and challenged to serve as president.

I desire your prayers, participation and support as we embrace the task that God has assigned to us. The year of 2008 was a significant year in the life of our Convention as we witnessed the construction and dedication of our property in Harlem, NY. This vision of our fathers, passed down to us, came to fruition as the ribbon was cut and the site named in honor of our esteemed past President, Dr. Sandy Ray.

The Sandy F. Ray Headquarters Building, 63-65 West 125th Street, in New York City, stands as a testimony and a wonderful witness as to the leadership, labor, loyalty and love of Empire Baptist in New York State. For this, we give God praise.

Visit this site often to keep abreast and connected to our convention as we together “Celebrate The Past and Build For The Future.”

Dr. Washington L. Lundy, President

Thomas was elected the first president of the organization.  At its second official session held at the Concord Baptist Church (Brooklyn, New York) in October 1897...MORE
