Lineville’s Concord Baptist marks 175 years

The 175-year anniversary celebration of Concord Baptist Church, Lineville, was a day that was marked by a “good crowd” having “good fellowship,” according to Carey Baptist Association Director of Missions Bruce Willis. 

During the May 15 service, Concord Baptist Pastor Mark Kytan brought a message and read a history of the church. An offertory piano solo was played by Jimmy Owen and Willis made historical presentations on behalf of Carey Association and the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission. A painting of the church was presented by artist Hattie Mitchell during the service. 

Following a fellowship lunch, participants gathered for an afternoon singing with God’s Mercy, a quartet from Wadley.
