Historical Information

The Middleton Baptist Mission structure was completed in 1910. In 1912, the church body was connected to the Bridgetown and Centreville congregations under the pastoral care of Lic. M. L. Anderson and Lic. S. G. Parris. The Middleton Mission was never very large, with only 8 members when Rev. A. F. Skinner began his work there in 1938. Although reports end in the 1940s, there is evidence of an active youth program under the leadership of Mrs. Lawrence Jackson, and Sunday school with Miss Effie Cox as its superintendent.

The North Street Chapel congregation has its roots as the Middleton Baptist Mission, under the AUBA. For a number of years this church structure was rented out and inactive, but on October 2, 2005, it was re-opened and rededicated under the name of North Street Chapel. This church is currently believed to not be within a Baptist association.
