The History of Germain Street Baptist Church, St. John, N.B., for its first one hundred years, 1810-1910

by Thomas D. Denham

REV. THOMAS GRIFFIN.

Rev. Thomas Griffin, who came from England, was the second pastor. He took up the work in 1818, and remained two years.

In 1820 the Female Mite Society contributed from Missions £15 3s. 7d. ($ 60.72). “The Church was small.” says Dr. Bill, “having only about sixty members and they had just completed their first house of worship. This contribution indicates the depth of their piety, and their earnestness in sending the Gospel to the destitute.”
