Emmanuel Baptist breaks ground

Emmanuel Baptist Church, Phenix City, breaks ground on the property where a new facility will be built and completed by the end of 2016. The building will include a worship center, church offices and classrooms. Phase 2 of construction will include the addition of more classrooms and a fellowship hall. The congregation has been meeting in the North Phenix Baptist Church, Phenix City, building since December 2015 when they sold the old church property.
