Listed on the National Register of Historic places, “Mother Lloyd” is also one of the oldest church structures in downtown Winston Salem. It is the “Mother” Church to Grace Presbyterian, founded in 1907, and to Dellabrook Presbyterian (founded in 1956) Churches. Mother Lloyd will also be celebrating its 155th Church Anniversary. The Church was founded in 1870 as part of a national movement by the northern missionaries to establish African-American Presbyterian Churches in the South after the Civil War. Mother Lloyd’s first members were originally members of First Presbyterian Church, Winston Salem. “Mother Lloyd”, once considered to be the hub of Black Community, survived the urban renewal that destroyed the thriving black businesses along the highway 52 corridor.
Mother Lloyd is a member of Salem Presbytery, and continues to do outreach to the local community and to a children’s home and school in Ngong Kenya through the Sister to Sister International Outreach Ministry that brings wholeness into the broken lives of women and children in the region. The entire community is invited to come celebrate Homecoming with Mother Lloyd, as we reach out to the Winston Salem Community and continue efforts to restore the historic building of Lloyd Presbyterian Church and develop a new vision of the future.
