People's Missionary Baptist Church

About this church

People's Missionary Baptist Church in Toledo gathers for morning worship at 11:00 a.m. Sunday and Bible study at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. The congregation's mission is to equip believers for ministry, build unity and maturity, and strengthen marriages, families, and the surrounding community. Worship leadership, deacons, trustees, mothers, and ministry staff are publicly identified, reflecting a traditional Black Baptist structure where lay and ordained leadership share visible responsibility.

The church's history began with Pastor W. E. Graham, his wife, and twelve members meeting on Tecumseh Street. A later vision reshaped the ministry around a memorable progression: learn better, live better, love better, and make life better for everyone. Adult Sunday School, baptism, family and marriage ministry, community work, and online gatherings carry that legacy forward. Some auxiliary meetings remain on Zoom, which helps members participate beyond the Heston Street building. The official site is compact but direct about the two dependable weekly times. Visitors seeking a church rooted in African American Baptist history, practical Christian growth, and neighborhood relationships will find those themes more central than a large program catalogue.
