Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church

Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church, established in October 1897, has a rich history that began with a small congregation on N. 9th Street and evolved under various leaderships, most notably Rev. J.C. Smith, who facilitated significant developments in the church's community engagement and facilities. In December 2003, Rev. Gerod Duff and First Lady Lawanda Duff took on pastoral responsibilities, continuing the church's tradition of outreach and youth support, including the founding of local initiatives like the scholarship program and the Abundant Life Soup Kitchen.

The church emphasizes its missionary work and has actively contributed to the community through various ministries and programs such as youth Sunday, the establishment of a Boy Scout Troop, and an empowerment community day. Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church remains dedicated to nurturing future generations through mentorship and other community-oriented activities.
