Biographical notes:

Formerly the First Baptist Church of Bushwick, the Greene Avenue Baptist Church was established on April 15, 1854. The church moved three times in its 96 years of existence. The first place of worship was on Bushwick Avenue in a private home. From 1884 to 1888, Warner's Hall was used for church functions and gatherings. The new church building, completed in April of 1888, was located on Greene Avenue, between Lewis and Stuyvesant Avenues, in what is today the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. The church building was purchased by Antioch Baptist Church in 1950.
