We mourn the sudden loss of Howard Bailey - SLL member and current instructor.

In Loving Memory of Howard Bailey

It is with heavy hearts that the State Street Baptist Church family acknowledges the passing of our beloved adopted church member, Howard Bailey.

Although Brother Bailey may not have been ours by official membership, he was certainly ours through love, fellowship, friendship, and faith. He became a cherished part of our church family, and his presence, kindness, wisdom, and support will be deeply missed.

We extend our heartfelt prayers and deepest condolences to the Bailey family and all who loved him. We pray that God will surround them with His comfort, strengthen them in the days ahead, and give them peace in knowing that a life well lived leaves a legacy that death cannot erase.

Scripture reminds us:

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” — Matthew 25:21

Brother Howard Bailey, thank you for allowing State Street Baptist Church to call you family.

You were adopted by us, loved by us, and you will never be forgotten by us.

Rest well, Brother Bailey. 🕊️

Rev. Dr. Kortney M. Warren, Senior Pastor
