In 1922, 125 members broke from Memorial Baptist Church (est. 1914) to establish St. Paul Independent Baptist Church. The congregation first met in Reverend T. J. Carr’s home at 499 St. Anthony Avenue before moving to a tent in his backyard and later to a storefront location on Rondo Avenue and Kent Street. In August 1922, a groundbreaking service was held at West Central and Mackubin Streets. The building had been designed and built by Reverend Carr and services were held in its basement. The church was reorganized in 1932 under the Northern Baptist Convention and State Baptist Association and renamed Mount Olivet Baptist Church.
