Members — old and new — gathered at Brookwood Baptist Church, Mountain Brook, to celebrate its 40th anniversary Oct. 5 with a special Sunday service filled with testimonies, reflections and special music.
Birthed in 1968 as a mission of Mountain Brook Baptist Church, the 85 charter members of Brookwood Baptist and founding pastor Bryant Strain began meeting at Brookwood Forest Elementary School in Mountain Brook.
Because of the vast growth of the church body, just one year later, the church constructed its own chapel, kitchen and educational space. In 1987, it added a sanctuary, a fellowship hall and more educational space. Today the Birmingham Baptist Association church has more than 1,600 members.
