Montgomery Association
The congregation of Heritage Baptist Church, Montgomery, definitely felt like 50 years was a big milestone. But it became an even bigger moment when they got to burn their mortgage note at their anniversary celebration Oct. 4.
During that part of the special service, Pastor Teman Knight read the same words that were spoken at the mortgage burning of their founding church, Clayton Street Baptist, in 1931. Clayton Street Baptist moved downtown and became Heritage Baptist in 1970 when I-65 was going to be built through the church’s property.
As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the church watched videos highlighting how God had used Heritage Baptist in the past.
Lonette Berg, executive director of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission; Bobby DuBois, associate executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions; and Neal Hughes, director of missions for Montgomery Baptist Association, also presented certificates to the church.
