Our History

Baker Drive Baptist Church, formerly known as Dickinson Missionary Baptist Church, was organized on April 11, 1963 with thirteen charter members. The Texas City Missionary Baptist Church sponsored this work and the group first met in the Dickinson Elementary School with Bro. W.E. Bradford as their pastor.

The church moved into its present location and building on July of 1963. Since that time she has added additional education space, bricked the entire church building and built a parsonage adjacent to the church.

In October 1964 the church became a church fellowshipping within the South Texas Association.

On November 10, 1964 the church became part of the Missionary Baptist Association of Texas and in June 1965 a member of the American Baptist Association.

On February 1, 1978, in regular business meeting the church changed her name from Dickinson Missionary Baptist Church to Baker Drive Baptist Church

Previous pastors include: W.E. Bradford, Anderson Morris, Larry Neeley, Glyn Gary, Raymond J. Lewis, Carroll Jones, John Williams, Leslie Wells, Gary Griffith, Carl Strickland and Bro. Joe Bozarth. Bro. Steven McGehee is our current pastor.
