Grimes Chapel Baptist celebrates centennial anniversary, homecoming

Grimes Chapel Baptist Church, Sylacauga, celebrated its centennial anniversary and homecoming Sept. 15.

The church began as a brush arbor with seven members joining during a revival. J.E. Grimes, the first member, donated two acres of land to build a church.

Special music was provided by Chosen Anointed trio. The two oldest members, Rosie Bryant and Kitty Adams, were recognized.

Joyce Peters, a commissioner with the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented a commemorative certificate for the church to its pastor, Jeff Chick. A fellowship meal was served following the service.
