MAY 23, 2010 MARKS 100 YEARS FOR WELLBORN BAPTIST CHURCH
(mini hisory procured at the church office)
May 22, 1910 the Wellborn Baptist Church was chartered as the First Baptist Church of Wellborn. Some of the charter members names we recognize today: Stansel, Warren, Moseley, Selph, Carver, and Bell.
Records show that a church sanctuary was built in 1954, located on County Road 137. This sanctuary burned on December 19, 1999. Immediately efforts began to rebuild the church sanctuary and on January 9 2000, the members voted to relocate to a site on US Highway 90. The location of the 4 or 5 acres, donated by church members, had been used throughout the years to conduct revivals.
On January 21, 2000 a benefit was sponsored to raise funds for the new sanctuary. The church received other donations to re-establish Wellborn Baptist Church including $10,000 donation, 100 new hymnals, a new baby grand piano. The slab for the new sanctuary was poured April 2001 with the move into the new sanctuary taking place December 2001.
