Text of marker: "FOURTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. In 1900 the Mt. Canaan Baptist Church was established under the leadership of the Reverends John Bellamy and Willis Carter when a few men and women met under a fig tree on Third Avenue to worship. In 1901 Rev. Bellamy separated from Mt. Canaan to organize a group of fifteen members who worshipped under a brush arbor on Fifth Street as New Mt. Canaan Baptist Church. Rev. Bellamy resigned as pastor in 1901 and was replaced by Rev. Pearson under whose leadership a fifty dollar tract of land was purchased. A shelter was built for worship and became Fourth Street Baptist Church. ERECTED BY THE HISTORIC CHATTAHOOCHEE COMMISSION AND HISTORIC COLUMBUS FOUNDATION, INC. 1995" - External Identifiers:
