NATIONAL CAPITAL BAPTIST CONVENTION Washington DC & Vicinity

MORNING STAR BAPTIST CHURCH was founded in 1907 by Reverend R.L. Bailey, and seven dedicated and praying people in an old house in Foggy Bottom, Georgetown , near 24th and F Streets. The little congregation, originally named “Baker’s Hill Mission”, now officially named the Morning Star Baptist Church , constructed and paid for their first building which was located in the twenty hundred block of C Street in NW Washington. Reverend Bailey pastored Morning Star until he was called from labor to reward in 1915.
