Where are they now: Faith Chapel Baptist Church, Marion

Faith Chapel had been planning to construct a fellowship hall and additional classrooms when a tornado damaged the church.

Members had been setting aside funds for the new structure. 

After the storms, members continued to meet in the damaged building and to repair their church, they used some of the money that had been designated for the fellowship hall and a donation from a church in south Alabama. Reparing the roof cost about $16,000. But “[the damage] could have been a lot worse,” Pastor Lloyd Stockman said. 

Within about a month, the repairs had been completed. 

Now members are back to planning for the new fellowship hall.
