Phenix City’s Emmanuel Baptist breaks ground

Emmanuel Baptist Church, Phenix City, holds a groundbreaking celebration March 12 on property the church bought in 2008. The new building will be more than 7,000 square feet with a worship center that will seat 275, church offices and classrooms. Pictured here are Pastor Alan Griffith (front row, left, in hat), and members of the church. The church hopes to have the new building completed by the end of 2016 and is grateful to North Phenix Baptist Church for allowing Emmanuel Baptist to use its facilities since January.
