Vineville Baptist Church
Vineville Baptist Church is a church in Macon, Georgia. Its sister church is Vineville North Baptist Church, founded as a mission of Vineville Baptist Church.[1]
In 1963, the church, under Pastor Dr. Walter L. Moore [2] accepted Ghanaian student Sam Oni at a time when the church and others in the state would not accept an American black man, arguing that he was different from the "American negro".[3][4] This was revolutionary in churches and racism in the United States.
Otis Redding formerly attended the church as a youth, where his father was pastor, nurturing his singing talents in the church choir.[5]
