In 1963, a group of concerned Baptized believers met at the Metropolitan New Testament Mission Baptist Church under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to organize as an association of like churches for the cause and purpose of Kingdom Building. After much thought, discussion and prayer, Reverends Eula M. Holmes and Minnie L. Burns suggested that the name of the association be: The Hudson River Frontier Missionary Baptist Association. Their suggestion was unanimously approved heralding a united fellowship of churches that would stand to celebrate its Golden Jubilee Year. The Charter of the newly formed Association, was comprised of the following seven Baptist congregations in the Capital District and surrounding areas: Macedonia Baptist Church, (under the pastorate of the late Reverend Dr. George L. Burns), Metropolitan NTM Baptist Church, (under the pastorate of the late Rev. Dr. John Holmes), Mt Calvary Baptist Church (under the pastorate of the late Oliver J. Brooks, Riverview Baptist Church (under the pastorate of the late Rev. Samuel B. Sutton), Second Baptist Church, (under the pastorate of the late Raymond Jones), Sweet Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, (under the pastorate of the late Rev William Roland) and Union Missionary Baptist Church,( under the pastorate of the late Rev Louis C. Brewer).
