CrossPoint Baptist Church

Today's Sacred Sunday feature on Greensboro Daily Photo is CrossPoint Baptist Church, located at 1806 Merritt Drive. CrossPoint is in the location of the former Hunter Hills Baptist Church. Hunter Hills had its beginnings in 1956, when the First Baptist Church of Greensboro authorized a branch church in the Hunter Hills Community. In 2004, Hunter Hills relocated to the 28 acres it owns on Wendover Avenue and became Life Community Church.*  Some point after that, the Merritt Drive property became CrossPoint.

CrossPoint church member and GDP reader, Nita, requested that we feature her church. Finally, last night, on a glorious Saturday evening, we had a chance to stop by and photograph Nita's church. As you will see below, the above photo only captures a small portion of the CrossPoint complex. There is a giant, more modern building, to the left of this more-traditional structure. Additionally, there are activity busses on site as well as something that seems like a giant arts and crafts center. We hope to get back and go inside the sanctuary as the stained glass looks lovely. Unlike many communities that often abandon old churches, Greensboro seems to have a tradition of breathing new spirit and life into old churches. Fortunately, churches like the one featured today, take on new energy and character, but manage to keep the beauty and spirituality embedded in every brick and every row of mortar. Happy Sunday, dear readers. Nita, this one's for you!

*great history, here.

Sorry, Nita.... We knew that. Nita, not Nina. However, on the website, it doesn't say that CrossPoint was originally Clifton Road Baptist. It would be great for your church to publish a history. We're going to go in and correct your name in the original post. That way, it will be correct for the people who read the main post, but don't bother to read comments. Thanks, again NITA!!! And, as always, thank you for reading.
