New Psalmist Baptist Church
"Empowering Disciples"
The New Psalmist Baptist Church is a church “Seeking to live in the Will of God”. Our mission is to Empower Disciples and fulfill the Great Commission, given to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."(Matt 28:19-20 NIV)
Brief History
- The church was founded by Rev. Junius Gray in 1899 and was named the Right Independent Freewill Baptist Church.
- It had its beginnings in the basement of a house on Russell Terrace, with fewer than twenty members.
- In 1901, the church purchased and moved to a two-story building at 1102 Parrish Alley.
- In 1911, the church, renamed Psalmist Baptist Church, purchased and remodeled property at Riggs Avenue and Woodyear Street.
- Rev. Junius Gray pastored Psalmist Baptist Church for 47 years.
- Rev. Atkins was called to pastor New Psalmist Baptist Church in June 1948.
- Due to congregational growth, the church purchased and moved to a new building at Druid Hill and North Avenues in 1954.
- The $56,000 mortgage was paid in full and burned in 1960. The church was renamed, the New Psalmist Baptist Church.
- Dr. Walter Thomas was called to pastor this church in April of 1975.
- Under his stewardship, in 1978, New Psalmist moved from Druid Hill and North Avenues to Cathedral and Franklin Streets.
- In 1991, a church meeting was held and a motion was passed to build a new church. In 1994, New Psalmist broke ground and two years later, April 7, 1996, New Psalmist moved from Franklin and Cathedral Street to its current home on Old Frederick Road; a multi- million dollar worship center and ministry complex on 19 acres of land.
- In 1986, Dr. Thomas founded New Psalmist Christian School.
- On July 20, 2005, Bishop Thomas was elevated to the office of Bishop and Presiding Prelate of The Kingdom Association of Covenant Pastors.
- Under Bishop Thomas’ leadership the church has grown from 200 to 7,000.

"Praise is What I Do"

Good evening, Everyone!

It has been a blessing being a part of New Psalmist Baptist Church family for the past 27 years. My children and grandchildren have grown up here. The people that I have come in contact with have become my extended family. I thank God for the spiritual growth that I have obtained while attending Bible study, discipleship, and leadership training. The spiritual growth have empowered me to be a strong women and to endure many obstacles in my life. I can truly say I am an empowered disciple. If you are looking for a church where you can grow spiritually then this is the place. I thank God for the leadership of Bishop Thomas and First Lady Thomas. I am looking forward to the move to the City of Zion and the major wittness that it will be.
