As you may have noticed, First Baptist Church of Center has chosen to move forward with the demolition of the former Center First Christian Church facility located at 124 Cora Street.  This decision was not taken lightly as we understand and appreciate the spiritual and historical nature of the facility and what it has meant to generations of persons in Shelby County.  So, how did we get to this point?

On this day, in 1964, John Lennon, just 24 years old, did an amazing thing. The Beatles were finishing their first movie, “A Hard Day’s Night,” but there was a problem, there was no title song.
