The First Baptist Church Greensboro is a landmark on the corner of Friendly Avenue and Tate Street. This church is a dynamic house of worship. People are always coming and going. Be it choir practice, handbell practice, Sunday services, preschool, mission work, exercise, Bible study, suppers, youth groups, Korean church services, there is something for everybody.
From the view above, First Baptist does not look that big. However, for those of us who travel Friendly Avenue, when you look through your rear view mirror, you see that the church appears to be three blocks long.
If you attend First Baptist and want to share something special about the church, please post in the comment section (below). Also, if you know about its history, please provide some details! Many books about First Baptist Church are out of print. We did find two copies on Amazon of this one from 1926!
This is so cinematic to me. Puts me in mind of so many TV Images we have filter trough over here. Gorgeous.

hi Jan! Thanks for the comment. Seems I am on the computer all the time...so gotta check everybody out!
I know Greensboro well as I am from Charlotte and when I was a musician in the 70s and 80s was always passing through or gigging in Greensboro. A much better town that Charlotte....! I like your cockleburr shot. Yankees have no idea what that means..

I was a member as a child about 30 years ago and was a part of the youth choir at that time under Joy Brannon's direction....she called my parents in Rock Hill, SC and requested my address for something she was planning, I believe, in August or the first of September...I've not received any information concerning this and I'm really interested in being a part of it.

Indeed, churches are named first because they are the first of a denomination in a town or city.
I worked at FBC for a time and can attest to the vastness of the facility. Whatever I needed was always in the east wing when I q=was in the west wing, ect. Thost corridors are looong!
