DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY FOR BAPTISTS-Sunday marked the 75th anniversary of Second Baptist
Church. Some of the members of the church are pictured outside the church following the morning wor-
ship hour which honored members.
Second Baptist Observes 75th Anniversary
In the early 1900's Kings
Mountain Baptist Church began a
mission Sunday School in the Cora
Mill Village and from this mission
Second Baptist Church, which cel-
ebrated its 75th anniversary
Sunday, had its beginning.
Rev. Gene Land, pastor of the
church for 20 years who has served
the church the longest period of
only 13 pastors in the church's long
history, praised the members
Sunday from the pulpit and recog-
nized Mrs. Leola Tate as the mem-
ber with longest continuous ser-
vice. Mrs Tate joined the church in
1915. A shut-in, she worships ev-
ery Sunday via radio broadcast
which the church began with Radio
Station WKMT eight years ago.
Land also recognized new mem-
bers who joined this year, includ-
ing Jeff Huffstetler, Robert Hartley,
Ralph Chitwood, Becky Rodgers,
Libby Chambers, Chris Chambers,
Brandy Allred, Justin Allison,
Denise Moore and Millard Metcalf.
Mayor Kyle Smith and Mrs.
Wh
Smith, Senator J. Ollie Harris and
Rev. Cline Borders, Director of
Missions for the Kings Mountain
Baptist Association, were special
guests. Smith, Harris and Borders
brought greetings. Cline congratu-
lated the congregation for starting
five new churches in the communi-
ty and Smith said that "all great
cities are made great by churches
like Second Baptist." Harris remi-
nisced of the contribution various
members of the church and its min-
isters had rendered for the Kings
Mountain community and praised
the signing program the church has
begun for the deaf.
"W en the church is in the will
of G..d, it calls its young people in-
to t : ministry," said Land, noting
that he church has sent out 20 full-
tim: Christian workers.
‘second Baptist, what is your
na ¢?" was the appropriate ser-
mo 1 topic and members, former
members and guests filled the
sanctuary and also enjoyed a picnic
luncheon in the church recreation
building.
"The purposes of Second Baptist
Church have been and shall ever
remain as the Saviour commanded:
to preach, teach, baptize unto the
furthest reaches of the world," said
Land. "As we enter into the 76th
year of ministry as a church we en-
treat God to keep his Hand on us,
keep our Saviour near," he added.
