Mt. Sinai Baptist Church
FM149 in Montgomery, Texas
The sign on the church
states the following: Mt. Sinai was organized in 1897 in the Dupree School
building near the present church site. Organizers were Rev. P.A. Northington,
Bob Brooks, Bob Wise, J. K. Kindle, Dick Roach and Mose & John Chambers. The
original building was erected in 1898. During the tenure of Rev. J. D. Reed
(1957-1999) the building was modernized and after 85 years of use, was
replaced in 1982. Present Pastor Rev. T. C. Williams". I am assisting
with a Texas History project involving Montgomery history; therefore have
pictures, etc. for each church. For more info contact
