"We Were A Sunday School Meeting Under The Big Oak Tree" | Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church
Pastor Nathaniel Harris of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Melbourne joins the Pastor Podcast to share about the historic congregation that traces its heritage back to 1889. The conversation drifts from the rich legacy of the church that started as a Sunday school meeting under "the big oak tree" to current community outreach initiatives that have flourished under the church's strong missional vision. The conversation also touches on the Rev. John W. Taylor Family Life Center, affordable housing needs, workforce development, and their 30 year participation in the annual Bible on Parade.
