ESTABLISHED IN 1928. 

On May 19, 1928, God saw fit that another star should rise in this part of His moral vineyard. With His infinite wisdom, the time, place, person and way were set for action, and a call to launch out into the deep given. Reverend Adam Keats Black obeyed this time call and launch was made on Saturday night May 19, 1928. With borrowed membership from David Chapel Baptist Church, and the assistance of Reverend L. M. Marshall, Pastor of the David Chapel Baptist Church, the Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church was born. Also witnessing the blessed event were the Reverend L. J. Griffin, Pastor  of the Rosewood Avenue Baptist Church; Reverend M. L. Cooper Pastor of the Peaceful St. James Baptist Church; Reverend J. H. McClain, Pastor of the Little Ebenezer Baptist Church in Hutto, Texas; and Reverend O. L. Scott, along with many others.

​

The privilege of the Church was extended and eight members joined to assume the responsibilities of the church, which included a large debt of $2,000. The first chartered members who formed the RSMBC were: Sister Caroline Black, mother of Rev. Black; Sister Martha Black, wife of Reverend Black; Sister Carrie E. White-Martin, Daughter of Rev A. K. Black; Brother General Harris; Sister Mazola Harris-Moseley; Brother Nathan Allen; Sister Bertha Beal; and Sister Vivian Jefferson.

​

On Sunday morning, May 20, 1928, the eight chartered members of the RSMBC held its first service. Thereafter, each Sunday morning new members came into the church and the membership began to thrive. As the fall months approached, there were only a few men at the church because many of them would go out of town to work. Consequently, the work of the church was left in the hands of the women, who assisted in keeping up with church finances and necessary tasks.
