HARTFORD MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH
A BRIEF HISTORY
Hartford Memorial Baptist Church celebrates 97 years of loving God and serving the world community.
The Rev. Edgar Wendell Edwards served as founding pastor from 1917 to 1920 when he relocated to
Chicago. After a diligent search, the Church called the Rev. Charles A. Hill Sr., assistant to the Rev. Robert
L. Bradby Sr., of Detroit’s historic Second Baptist Church. Installed as pastor in November of 1920, he
served for 48 years until his retirement on his 75 th Birthday, April 28, 1968. During his progressive
pastorate, Dr. Hill built new church facilities on the corner of Hartford and Milford and subsequently, a
community and recreation facility. He was a strong supporter of organized labor; UAW Ford Local 600 was
organized at Hartford Church. An outspoken champion of civil rights in the difficult days before the Civil
Rights Movement, Dr. Hill was at the forefront of the struggle for equality in the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s. He
was one of the first Blacks to run for the Detroit City Council. Courageously, he opened the Hartford pulpit
to such nonconformists as W.E.B. DuBois and Paul Robeson.
On April 6, 1969, Hartford gleefully received its son, Charles Gilchrist Adams, as pastor of the church in
which he had been reared, indoctrinated, baptized, licensed, ordained and married. At that time, Dr. Adams,
an honors graduate of the University of Michigan and Harvard Divinity School, had just begun his seventh
year as pastor of the historic Concord Baptist Church in Boston, New England’s largest African American
congregation. Having burned the old mortgage in 1971, Dr. Adams led Hartford into the current James
Couzens’ facilities on April 10, 1977; under his strong and vigorous leadership, this mortgage was burned in
1983, nine years ahead of time. With an ever increasing church family, Hartford has become one of the
largest church congregations in Detroit. Widely known for its music ministry, Hartford boasts of the largest
pipe organ built by a Black church. Choir loft expansions, upgraded audio/video equipment and redesigned
lighting in the Sanctuary are only part of the ongoing renovations.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 11, 2015
Dr. Adams’ vision of community outreach led to the establishment of The AGAPE (LOVE) HOUSE for
charitable and community ministries. Formerly housed in properties purchased across the freeway on James
Couzens, The AGAPE HOUSE, now temporarily located in the Church, continues to offer needed social
services that include the Daily Senior Citizens’ Program, Hunger Task Force, Bookstore, Taping Ministry,
Scholarship and College Preparation Programs, Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous.
FIRST SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY
SOCIAL JUSTICE SUNDAY
Hartford has purchased commercial real estate along Seven Mile Road, supporting the establishment of fast
food restaurants, such as McDonald’s, Long John Silver and Kentucky Fried Chicken and other businesses.
A Super Kmart was built on church property and employed hundreds of local residents. Today, on the same
church property, Home Depot continues to provide employment and a tax base for the city and state. On
other church properties, Hartford has established the Head Start Agency, a Tutorial Program and the
Hartford Institute for Biblical Studies.
Dr. Charles G. Adams, Pastor
Rev. Charles C. Adams, Presiding Pastor
Recently, Hartford, under the leadership of Dr. Adams, purchased 5.5 acres of land located on the former
Meyers Road campus of Lewis College of Business. The design and plans are in progress for the utilization
of this site for Vision ‘007, Dr. Adams’ and Hartford’s greatly expanded vision for community outreach —
an assisted living complex, gymnasiums for seniors and youth, a performing arts auditorium and health
facilities and The AGAPE HOUSE programs.
In 2007, Dr. Adams was selected as the first professor of the Practice of Ethics and of Ministry at Harvard
University. His full teaching schedule at Harvard has not prevented his weekly delivery of soul-saving
sermons at Hartford. Assisting him is his son, the Rev. Charles Christian Adams, who was unanimously
appointed as Hartford’s first Presiding Pastor, thus continuing the Adams’ pulpit legacy. We celebrate and
praise God for the ever expanding ministry of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church.
“For Hartford is the Place to Be!”

Rev. Lurecie M. Stokes, Minister of Pastoral Care

SERVING TODAY
LOOKING AHEAD
Next weekend will be the second Sunday after Epiphany, which is the
manifestation of Christ as Lord to all the nations, races, ethnicities and religions of
the world. The texts for next week-end are: 1 Samuel 3:1-20; Psalm 139:1-18;
John 1:43-51; 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. The common message that runs throughout
the texts is that we should recognize and confess the sovereignty of God and
respond to it with amazement, gratitude, acceptance and obedience.
Read very carefully the first lesson: 1 Samuel 3:1-20. This lesson instr ucts us to
accept the Word of God even when it seems to come against us as a word of
judgment and punishment rather than the preferred word of restoration and
prosperity. If the Word of God is truly sovereign, its goodness is not diminished
even when it comes in the form of bad news. Love is present within God’s law.
Jesus is ministering to us even in God’s judgment. Samuel was afraid to tell Eli, his elder and mentor, what
God had told him. But Eli was too old and too experienced to try to avoid or reject the Word of God. When
Eli heard the Word of God from the mouth of Samuel, it was bad news, and it must have pierced his heart like
a dagger, but he found faith to accept what he could not forestall and said to Samuel, “It is the Lord, let him
do what seems good to him.” (1 Samuel 3:18). That should be the attitude of each and every one of us. We
must learn to accept the will of God and look for the good in the bad, the love in the law and the silver lining
of amazing grace that can be found in every dark cloud.
The goodness of God is not always apparent, but it is still goodness even in danger, darkness and death. Faith
cannot be victorious until it has been tried and proven in the worst of times. We will never know how strong
love is, how good God is or how amazing the grace of God can be until we are tested and tried in the crucible
of God’s mysterious judgment. Seeds do not reproduce until they die. Roses do not yield perfume until they
are crushed. Birds sing most sweetly when they are caged, and stars do not shine until it is dark. The good
news cannot be heard until the bad news is accepted. Whatever comes your way, respond to it like this: “It is
the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.”
Psalm 139 should be r ead and lear ned in its entir ety. It is a beautiful, poetic, calming, r eassur ing
meditation on the immortal and inescapable presence of God --- even when the night comes and the shadows
fall. The whole self, the whole life, the whole world and the whole universe are invaded and surrounded by
the pervasive presence and power of our God. We cannot go from God’s spirit; we cannot flee from God’s
presence. Even in darkness your night will be your light, your struggle will be your strength, your grief will
be your growth, your pain will be your gain, your challenge will be your most gratuitous opportunity, your
suffering will be your song, your death will be your deliverance and your tragedy will be the stage setting for
your ultimate triumph. Why? Because we are invaded, surrounded, encircled and captured in a circle of
commitment from God. The inescapable God is our refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
By reading 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, we will notice, as Pr ofessor Er nst Käseman said, that the entir e
physical body is that piece of the world, for which we ourselves are responsible. Therefore to “glorify God in
your body” is to accept your physical nature and the whole world as the proper arena for Christian life and
service. It is to acknowledge the marketplace, the home, relationships, the classroom, the corporate board
room and the bedroom as places where the practical, dutiful, and daily worship of God must take place. We
must take up the cross of Christ daily!

Read John 1:43-51. This r eading is the br idge between the testimony of J ohn the Baptist and the stor y of
the ministry of Jesus. All that follows shows the pre-eminence and Lordship of Jesus. How will we see Jesus?
Will we see Jesus with the initial skepticism of Nathaniel or with the ultimate surrender to Jesus of
Nathaniel’s eyes of faith? We read in order to understand what and whom we believe.
