Hull East Park Baptist Church History up to 1912.

The East Park Church, Hull, was founded by the County Association. With the help of the Twentieth Century Fund, an excellent site was procured in a rapidly developing district on the Holderness Road. A temporary iron building was placed upon it, and Rev. A. C. Carter began his ministry with its opening in February, 1909. The Courtney Street Mission, which had existed for ten years, was transferred to the Association, who united it to East Park; its workers-the great majority of whom came from the Central Church-formed the nucleus of the new cause. The congregation has steadily increased and the Sunday school has outgrown its accommodation. The Courtney Street Mission is still maintained, and East Park has raised more than £100 for the renovation of the Mission premises. East Park has great promise for the future, its fast approaching problem, which is already under consideration, being the necessity of a permanent building.
