On a October 26, 1948 group of people who were discouraged with conditions existing in the [[First Baptist Church (Brooklyn, Maryland)]] met in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alford Miller, Sr for a time of prayer and fellowship. Some of those present decided that they would not go back to [[First Baptist Church (Brooklyn, Maryland)|First Baptist]] for Sunday Services, but would meet in the home of Mr. Miller. Others, who held places of service, went back for Sunday Services, and then told the current Pastor, [[E. C. Dean (baptist elder)|Rev. E. C. Dean]], they were severing their relationship with [[First Baptist Church (Brooklyn, Maryland)|First Baptist]] from that date forward, on October 31, 1948". A group of twenty-two people, stood in circle and joined hands (determined with God’s help), to start a 'Fundamental, Bible teaching' testimony in Brooklyn. | On a October 26, 1948 group of people who were discouraged with conditions existing in the [[First Baptist Church (Brooklyn, Maryland)]] met in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alford Miller, Sr for a time of prayer and fellowship.
