History
Corinthian Baptist Church History Inspired by God, in 1965 Paster Lee Earnest Mathews organized The Corinthian Baptist Church. While the church’s first meeting was in his home it quickly outgrew that location and services were moved to 2705 San Pablo Street in Oakland. In 1982 he was blessed to march his congregation to 928 Castro Street in Oakland where the church still stands today. In 1952 he joined the Masons and was a member of Model Lodge #29 Oakland, CA where earned the degree of 33rd Mason. Though he started in construction he used that experience as a catapult to his own Janitorial business, Mathews Building & Maintenance Janitorial Service. Pastor Mathews was a; dutiful loving husband, wonderful patient father, and faithful Pastor who was fully committed to the work of God and the love of his family and church. He was known and will be remembered for ensuring that those under his tutelage knew the Lord for themselves and for his famous quote: “Am I Right About It?”
