Volunteers, staff prep Shocco’s Bagley Center for renovations

Volunteers and staff members at Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center in Talladega spent the first week of 2022 focused on demolition of a main building’s interior.

The second floor of Bagley Center, which was built in the 1970s, was the focus of the demolition. There have not been many updates other than carpet and a few minor changes.

The long-time Baptist retreat center hosts many events and camps throughout each year. These updates will modernize the look of Bagley’s second floor to match the first floor, which was completed a couple of years ago.

Russell Klinner is the executive director of Shocco. Volunteers can sign up at shocco.org/about/volunteer.
