Eighty-five years ago, in 1927, 22 African Americans of faith living in Garfield, New Jersey had a dream and desire to begin a church in the city where they resided. Initially, they met for Sunday school in a storefront located on Frederick St. After many obstacles and stumbling blocks, their dream became a reality and on May 8, 1927, Rev Greene, pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Hackensack, NJ led the organizing of the Mount Calvary Baptist Church in a building on Morell Place in Garfield. Rev. Elisha L. Harrison would become the first pastor. As was common in the early 1900’s, pastors did not remain in churches for a long period of time. Such was the case with many of the men who served Calvary in its formative years. In October of 1927, Rev. Freeman became the second pastor. On April 11, 1928, Rev. Lewis Cherry became the third pastor of the church.
