Fayette County Baptist Association churches gathered Oct. 25 to celebrate the association’s 150th anniversary during the evening session of its annual meeting.
“The celebration built unity,” said John Killian, director of missions. “It showed that God is at work all over the county and each church is part of that work.”
During the event, Sherry Grey from Berry Baptist Church presented the history of the association.
Stella Wallace, pianist at First Baptist Church Fayette, played hymns from the different time periods as background music. The Fayette County Baptist Association choir also sang “We Will Remember.”
Congregational singing was led by Kevin Beck, worship and education pastor for Southside Baptist Church, Fayette, who serves as associational music director.
Lonette Berg, executive director of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, and Rick Lance, executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, presented the association with certificates.
