Collection Description

Historical Note

Ebenezer Baptist Church West, formerly known as Landrum Chapel Baptist Church, was established in 1878 in Athens, Georgia. The founding pastor Reverend Collins Henry Lyons and others organized Landrum Chapel and changed the name to Ebenezer Baptist Church in 1889. The church then established the Jeruel Academy, a private school for African Americans, later to become Union Baptist Institute. The church moved to the present location at the corner of Reese and Chase Streets in 1937.

Scope and Content

This collection contains meeting minutes and notes from committees, anniversary, celebration, and funeral programs, a paper fan, and copies of the Ebenezer Messenger.
