 ==History==
-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, [[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."

 Andover was originally a split from [[First Baptist Church (Brooklyn, Maryland)|First Baptist Church of Brooklyn]] which was and still is a part of the [[Southern Baptist Convention]]. The testimony of the founders varies to a degree on the exact causes of the split, but it appears that doctrine, personality, and cultural differences between the more established [[wikipedia:Baltimore|Baltimoreans]] and newer immigrants from [[wikipedia:West Virginia|West Virginia]] and [[wikipedia:Tennessee|Tennessee]] all played a role.
