Liberty Hill Baptist Church

Liberty Hill Baptist Church
In 1956, the Anshe Chesed congregation sold their temple to an African American congregation called the Liberty Hill Baptist Church. Liberty Hill formed during the Great Migration in 1918 and worshiped from 1927 to 1956 in a brick building at 5713 Kinsman Road. By 1956 Liberty Hill had 2,000 members. It was the second Black church to relocate to Euclid Avenue, the first being East Mount Zion Baptist Church, which moved to the former Euclid Avenue Christian Church at E. 100th and Euclid in 1955. The Liberty Hill congregation meets in the old Euclid Avenue Temple to this day. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
