Churches Of Edmonton.....First Baptist

I have decided to do a short series this week featuring a few of Edmonton's churches.
This is The First Baptist Church located in downtown Edmonton. It has been here since the late 1950's and today is as far as l know the only Church left in the downtown area of the city

[Diana]

Such a lovely little church, amazing that it is in downtown.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Nice pov

[winghong_ho]

Nice capture of this lovely church.

[Boxplayer]

Love this mid century architecture, nice wide angle.

[Oli Lindenskov]

Nic pic😊

[Jessica Eby]

Strange question-- is "Av" the normal abbreviation for Avenue out there? I remember "Av" street signs here when I was little, but nowadays it's abbreviated to "Ave" whenever I see it!

[Valerie Chesney]

Very nice capture..

[Dione Giorgio]

Including the person walking by shows how big this church is. Lovely shot and good timing.

[Peter Dulis]

nice

[wendy frost]

Well captured and a great POV.

[Bucktree]

Nice capture. Not easy for a church surviving in a downtown area.

[Tunia McClure]

It is certainly surrounded by tall office buildings.

[Mags]

A lovely church and capture!

[Judith Johnson]

It looks quite modern by UK standards

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very nice.

[Agnes]

Nice picture

[KAL]

Doing a series on churches is a great project! Nice image!

[william wooderson]

Downtown a bit restricted in religious venues then? Nice idea for a project!

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture

[Pam]

That is unusual to be the only church. Great capture of this lovely church.

[Bill]

Sounds like a good project. I like learning about Edmonton.

[haskar]

Lovely pov and shot.

[Pat Knowles]

Interesting to see looks like a modern church.

[gloria jones]

Nice capture, pov

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the church.

[Heather]

This is a great shot to capture this church (a nice design)! And as Dione mentioned, the person walking by gives the scale. Nicely done, Brian! Fav

[Kathy]

A good view of the church. Too bad that it's the only church in town. Have the others closed or moved to the "burbs"?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

God Bless them! And may they never leave. Nice shot.

[Rick]

Nice capture.

[Diane]

Nice shot. Good for First Baptist for staying in the downtown area.

You have struck a chord with me here! I think it is so sad that churches don't have enough support to stay in certain areas, often the places that need them the most.
