We Can’t Beat God’s Giving

Rev. Lee E. Mathews was inspired by God to organize a church. On January 3rd, 1965, Rev. Mathews began having church service in his vacant home at 1214 E.22nd Street and organized the church with his family. Not long after, many friends began to help with worship service. Pastor Mathews asked all to fast and pray for a church name and God revealed to Sister Ella that the name should be Corinthian Baptist Church.

Corinthian Baptist Church has a long history of serving the community. Every year we take time to deliver food to the homeless and provide safe overnight parking for those living in their vehicles. We openly accept the responsibility to assist those in need and ask you to join us with a donation.
