WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT - Still Praising God! 
Ephesians 4:2-6 - Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called--5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Psalms 84:4 - Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah
McKinley Memorial Baptist Church
110 Years of Ministry
The origin of McKinley Memorial Baptist Church dates back to the year of 1901. when a small band of Christian believers, who were then members of the Salem Baptist Church of Jenkintown, PA. met at the home of Bro. and Sis. A. T. Cottom to organize a prayer band. On the first Sunday in June 1902, the prayer band called a council to meet in the Wilgus Hall in Hatboro, PA. The church was then organized and recognized as a regular Baptist church and named in memory of the Late President, William McKinley.
The original members were: Rev. J. C. Williams, found and builder, Dea. Charles Warner, Dea. Watson Walker, Bro. Robert Hyde, Sis. Ana Newman, Sis Leona Cabell, Sis. Eva Jiles, Sis Ellen Smith, Sis. Rachel Taliaferro, Bro. Clifton Cabell, Sis Lucy Walker, Sis Mary Palmer and Bro. Phillip Taliaferro.
In 1904 the church moved from Hatboro to the Kentner Building on Moreland Road in Willow Grove, from there the church moved to and old brick building on Welsh Rd until 1908 at which time it moved to our present location.
