 Waltham General Baptist Church actually started out as East Side General Baptist Church.



It was started in a home located on Coleen Ave. in Warren MI. Seven (7) members came together looking for a church name. They had singing, prayer, & teaching of the Bible. Afterwards, after going through some names, they all agreed on the name East Side.
