History of the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church Usher Board

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. (Psalms 84:10). In keeping with the spirit of this scripture, the Friendship Baptist Church Usher Board was organized in 1940 under the leadership of Rev. Calvin Walton. Sis. Lena Crosby and Sis. Molly Ann Weems were two of the original members.

The Usher Board was re-organized in 1949 under Rev. Calvin Miller. Sis. Lena Brookins became the President. Sis Catherine Miller was elected the Secretary.

After the departure of Sis. Brookins, Sis. Clara Ellis became the President. Some of the members at that time were: Sis Julia Walton, Sis. Raven and Sis. Catherine Miller.

Lawrence Johnson, Vice-President – Sis. Lynne Bryant, Secretary – Sis. Matilda McCoy and Treasurer – Sis. Clara Ellis.

In 1986, Bro. Johnson resigned the Presidency. A meeting was called and Bro. Norris Jackson was elected President. On August 28, 1988, Bro. Norris Jackson resigned as the new President and Bro.
