History of the Churches of the Pittsburgh Baptist Association

by William Pankey

GLASSPORT BAPTIST CHURCH, ORGANIZED 1907

The Glassport Baptist Church was organized January 13, 1907. The industrial development of the Glassport community has slowed down within recent years, resulting in the slow growth of the Baptist church. In 1907 the church was admitted to membership in the Pittsburgh Baptist Association. The present membership is seventy-seven.

The following ministers have served the church:

Rev. C. A. Wilson (1908), Rev. J. C. Longanecker (1910-1919), Rev. C. A. Downing (1922-1930), Rev. Frank S. Edge (1932-1935), Rev. Merle L. Champion (1936-1937), Rev. Frank S. Edge (1938 ).
