A Sesquicentennial History of the Green River Missionary Baptist Church 1836 - 1986, Written and Compiled by Wendell Holmes Rone, Sr., For the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Church, 1987. By permission of author. Ohio County. PAUL JOSEPH HASTINGS became the Twenty-Seventh Pastor of the Green River Church in January, 1945, after having been called by the Congregation the previous December 23, 1944. We have very little information concerning him and his pastorate, as the records are not complete. The Church entertained the Annual Session of the Association in August, 1945, and reported 19 baptisms. It had also voted to go to two Sundays per month preaching and paid the pastor $562.00 that year. For the first time since 1919-1920 the Church raised over $1,000 for all purposes - $1,166.94 was the total amount raised and reported.
