Here we see a photo of College Park Baptist Church, located at the corner of Aycock Street and Walker Avenue, just across from the baseball stadium at UNCG. While the church is located on a busy road on the western edge of the UNCG campus, the traffic is not noticeable once you are inside-- especially after rush hour. College Park Baptist bills itself as, "a progressive bunch of liberal zanies." Established in 1906, the church will celebrate its 105th birthday in a few weeks. The sanctuary, in use today, was built in 1952. Since the church is so close to the university, it diligently hosts some kind of social event for the students at UNCG who are Baptist. This is a socially involved church with approximately 300 members. If you are looking for a liberal church in the vicinity of campus this may be the right spiritual home for you. Hats off to College Park Baptist for growing and adapting to meet the needs and interests of the local college community. They make every effort to be an all inclusive faith community.
On Sundays, we post some type of religious or spiritual post. To learn more about CPBC, check out their website here.
What a beautiful church building! It reminds me of our church, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in St. Paul. Both are build of bricks with a tall, white steeple! And we also have a more liberal social outlook but a very traditional worship style. You'll see a different church on my blog today!

Churches here are not much different from the day they were built. Some, are, though, still located in the exact same spot. Down town.
