Ocho Rios Baptist Church - Ocho Rios, Jamaica - Baptist Churches on Waymarking.com

The Baptist presence in Jamaica began in 1783 when George Liele, a 'free black slave' from Atlanta, Georgia, came to preach in Kingston. Sixty-six years and much missionary work later, the Jamaica Baptist Union was founded at Falmouth, Trelawny in 1849.

Throughout the 19th century the Baptists of Jamaica were instrumental in the fight against slavery in the island. In addition to setting up many ‘free villages,’ the Baptists counted among their number three men who, for their efforts against slavery and oppression, became National Heroes: Sam Sharpe, Paul Bogle, and George William Gordon.

Today, in the Jamaica Baptist Union there are 322 Churches, 118 ministers and approximately 40,000 communicant members and 180,000 followers.

The minister of the Ocho Rios Baptist Church is the Reverend Jonathan Hemmings.
