Oakley Baptist Church, New Market, celebrated its 125th anniversary July 20.
During the service Pastor Charlie Hammons extended a welcome and acknowledged the visitors and former pastors in attendance.
Former pastor Glenn Denton delivered the message and the group Raise to Praise sang special music.
Nancy Beasley, representative from the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, presented the Madison Baptist Association church with a framed certificate commemorating its 125 years.
“We started the day earlier than we normally do,” said Hammons, noting there was a packed house. “When the church is full it holds about 125; I’d say we had more than that.”
Lunch was provided in the fellowship hall following the service, where “everyone just had a great time,” Hammons said.
