First Baptist Church Alexander City celebrated its 150th anniversary throughout October with speakers Steve King, pastor (Oct. 2); Dave Briley, former worship pastor (Oct. 9); Gerald Hallmark, former pastor (Oct. 16); Steve Layton, former minister of education/administration (Oct. 23); and Harris Cook, former pastor (Oct. 30). Each speaker focused on the theme of heritage and legacy. Briley performed a piano concert on Oct. 9 as well.
Calvin Milford of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission presented a certificate Oct. 16.
“The celebration was a reminder that we have been given a rich heritage left by people we do not know,” said Bill Stinson, pastor of education and administration. “We now have a responsibility to carry on their legacy.”
Each Monday the church met at 6:15 a.m. for a time of devotion, singing and prayer.
