Avenue L Baptist Church - Galveston (TX)

5 /5 ixd 7ev: Wonderful church family and history. They had some pageants because it’s black history month just now, and this church has an incredible story to tell. Excellent pastor, superlative music. Going to Bible study tomorrow night.

5 /5 Vanessa Davis: I was visiting Galveston and this church was highly recommended by locals. I see why the atmosphere was welcoming, members were friendly, awesome message from the pastor and all throughout the service it was spiritual and uplifting. Love the history of the church as well. I would recommend this church to others. I truly enjoyed myself.

5 /5 Kathy Muetzel: I felt such a wonderful experience of the Holy Spirit all around the church.! The choir and music was awesome and th message from Pastor Johnson was uplifting!!!!! I will be back!

5 /5 Shahram Tabibzadegan: This is Texas’s First African American Baptist Church. An outgrowth of the Colored Baptist Church formed in 1840 as the slave congregation of the First Missionary Baptist Church, the church moved to the Avenue L site in 1855 with the Reverend Israel S. Campbell serving as the pastor. The 1900 Storm destroyed that building. The Tanner Brothers Contractors and Architects, an African-American firm, constructed the present structure in 1916. Visible on the west side behind the brick church is the wooden church of 1904. This beautiful building is a historic landmark and a Galveston gem.

1 /5 Nicholas Hartnett: The deacon is awful. Had my vehicle towed for parking in a public parking spot. Car runs, and no flat tires but he calls and gets it towed anyway. Ill remove this review once they get my car out of impound.
