Client Profile: 

In 1880, the Herndon, Turner, and Furlow families established the First Missionary Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. Reverend Pope Jones became the Pastor in 1881 and construction of the church began in 1886 with Reverend Jones and Reverend M.J. Hooks erecting the structure. With 140 years of continuous Christian ministry and witness recorded, today the church is under the leadership of Reverend Dr. Don Darius Butler who brings a passion for missions and outreach, community engagement and social justice.

First Missionary Baptist Church is a recipient of the Huntsville Beautification Award because of the superior service quality provided by Calhoun’s Lawn & Yard Grooming.
