Our History
Rev. and Sis. Ivan Morton took the word to Mt. Salem when, with the help of Brothers Arnold Plowright and Redrick Wright, a Sunday School was started at Redlands in an open lot opposite Clarke Street. They moved down to the present spot when the land was acquired on lease at a peppercorn rental of one Shilling per year from the Kerr-Jarretts.
