After the death of Dr. Fitzgerald, his children decided to expel all the members out of the \nchurch. This decision caused a large rift within the congregation and church. On that \nSunday in January of 1968, half of the congregation decided to gather at one of the \nmembers home, Sis. Lillian Taylor, to continue having church underneath her peach tree. \nWhen weather did not permit, they gathered inside of her home. That exact same Sunday in \n1968, Kendleton Missionary Baptist Church was established underneath that peach tree \nunder the leadership of Pastor Jackson Banks, Sr. <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
