Welcome to Pisgah Seventh-day Adventist Church - Home
Description
The Pisgah Seventh-Day Adventist Church started as a dream of Sister Edna Bailey Criddle. For many years, Sister Criddle was the only known black Adventist in Charles County, and as such was very diligent in carrying out her God-given responsibility to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Although a member of the Ephesus Church in Washington, D.C., she conducted numerous home bible studies and branch Sabbath Schools in Charles County long before the Pisgah Church was formally organized. Realizing the magnitude of the work, she appealed for help from the members of Ephesus Church. A Company of interested and dedicated persons was formed, who met at the houses of Sisters Criddle and Hancock.
In response to Sister Criddle's desire to have a church in her community, Elder Walter Starks of the Dupont Park Church (formerly Ephesus) dispatched some workers to the area in preparation for an evangelistic meeting in 1964. Lay Elders
Wilmer Hunt and Henry Smith assisted, as did workers Edna Criddle, Josephine Flowers, Nettie Lewis, Amos Lewis, Earline Smith, Edith Winters, Catherine Rivers Jackson, Malachi McKelvin, Timothy Bright, Robert Pyndell, Helen Pyndell, Bernard Smith, and Mildred Hunt.
