The fifth house of worship for FBC

 

• 1972: The church's current building at 4500 Riverview Avenue, the fifth in FBC's history, is dedicated on Palm Sunday (March 26), as the congregation gathered around the Crusader’s Cross, which is now located in the center of the traffic circle at the church's front entrance.
• Did you know? The Crusader’s Cross came from the top of the front entrance of the South Main Street stone church, and the 1854 inscription stone, which had been removed from the front porch of the South Main Street church, is now imbedded in the hill in back of the Riverview Avenue building.
