"In 1857, an offshoot from the Methodist church was organized and became known as the Wesleyan Methodist Church (colored). That church was located on North Albany Street. In 1903, after several conferences and negotiations, the church took on the name Calvary Baptist Church and was under the leadership of a Rev. Lomax. From 1907 to 1910, Rev. K. N. Clark was Calvary’s pastor. The pulpit was vacant from 1910 to 1915, at which time Rev. William D. White became pastor."
