A Brief History
Gospel Baptist Church began in 1939 on Pisgah Church Road. However, growth in the congregation caused a need for larger facilities. As a result, the congregation sold the property
on Pisgah Church Road in September 2004 and built a new facility at 5945 North Church St. (about one-half mile north of Hwy. 150). The first service in the new facility was held in September 2005.
