St. Charles Avenue Baptist Church, New Orleans, LA.
After gathering for 14 years as a mission of Coliseum Baptist Church, twenty-six charter members created the Carrollton Baptist Church at the corner of Maple and Cherokee Streets on November 16, 1898. Three years later, the city of Carrollton was annexed by the city of New Orleans. The small congregation of Carrollton Baptist Church then purchased property on the corner of St. Charles Avenue and Hillary Street and changed the church name to Saint Charles Avenue Baptist Church. The lot on the corner of St. Charles Avenue and Audubon Street was purchased in 1924, and in 1926 the church moved to its present location.
