O
n this celebratory occasion of 111 years for the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church, we are privileged to be a part of her grand history. I am personally honored to have a place in line, succeeding such great spiritual giants as Reverend O.W. Foster and Reverend Joe Cephas Johnson, in the work in this great house. Because this church’s One Foundation is Jesus Christ, those whom HE has assigned to build on it can be assured of continuing to build on a Solid Rock. Because of the grace of God and His watchful eye, we have come from a few dedicated pioneers under a rubber tree in 1909 to where we stand today. What a mighty God we serve! We pray to Almighty God for continued humility, thankfulness, appreciation, courage, and commitment to serve faithfully and dutifully, to HIS good pleasure, as we continue to move upward and onward here at Ebenezer, the “Stone of Help”! In Christ and in Love,
Pastor Wayne Allen, Sr

Congregational Hymn THE CHURCH’S ONE FOUNDATION Verse 1 The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word: from heav’n he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. Verse 2 Elect from ev’ry nation, yet one o’er all the earth, her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with ev’ry grace endued. Verse 3 Though with a scornful wonder men see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song.
Verse 4 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end; though there be those that hate her, and false sons in her pale, against both foe and traitor she ever shall prevail. Verse 5 ‘Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. Verse 6 Yet she on earth hath union with the God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.
