ABOUT US
A History of Faith and Dedication
Draper Memorial COGIC was founded in 1965 in New Market, Alabama, under the visionary leadership of Pastor Dave Draper Sr. and Mother Willie Mae Draper. What began as a small congregation with a big heart has grown into a thriving church that continues to make an impact in the community. In the decades since its founding, Draper Memorial COGIC has remained steadfast in its mission to share God’s love and provide a place for worship, growth, and service. Today, we honor the legacy of our founders while advancing the ministry under the guidance of Pastor Dave Draper Jr.
