Former pastor Harold Fanning and evangelist Junior Hill were the guest speakers for the celebration. Congregational singing was led by current minister of music Joe Holmes and the church’s praise team, former minister of music David Hopkins and former interim minister of music Neil Steele.
Jerry Armor presented the church with a certificate from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission. Sen. Arthur Orr delivered a resolution by the Alabama Legislature, and Mayor Melvin Duran brought congratulations from the City of Priceville.
Interim pastor Jackie Kay gave closing remarks and the benediction was delivered by former pastor Gary Linville.
“Our people worked hard to make this a special day for thinking about the history of the church and all God has done and how His glory still shines,” church member Maxine Hembry said.
