First Baptist Church sanitary...

It's Sunday so another church building in the downtown area. This church takes up the entire block with its sanctuary, chapel, administration and education buildings.
Again, a painted brick building. The steeple is predominant in the downtown area (I've posted it previously from a distance https://365project.org/thewatersphotos/365/2020-07-23).

Lovely building

Fabulous shot and beautiful building! I love old churches! We have five or so painted churches about an hour and a half west of Houston in an area settled by Germans and Czechs. They’re amazing!

Beautifully kept...so white & such an impressive entrance.

[Margaret Brown]

Nice POV and building

It has an impressive steeple.

I did a double-take when I saw this. I thought maybe you had come to town. This looks very similar to First Baptist Church, Morganton NC.

Very Powerful Image!

[Danette Thompson]

Beautiful design. Looks just like our old church building that I sold in 2001.

[Milanie]

Quite an attractive steeple - imagine it stands out from quite a distance.

@lindasees Thanks, Linda!

@carolmactx The two I've taken photos of are the biggest in this town. The next town has several but they are red brick and a bit more ornate.

@happypat Thanks, Pat. Yes, it has a beautiful entrance.

[GaryW]

@craftymeg Thank you, Margaret.

[GaryW]

@kvphoto Thanks, KV.

[GaryW]

@anniesue Thanks, Annie. I thought so, as well.

[GaryW]

@taffy Thanks, Taffy! It is big.

[GaryW]

@randystreat Ha! I have been to Morganton, but not recently.

[GaryW]

@bubblequeen Thanks so much, Melvina.

[GaryW]

@danette Thanks! Wow! What prompted a congregation to sell? Did another church buy it?

[GaryW]

@milaniet Thanks, Milanie. It does, indeed!

[GaryW]

@zambianlass Thank you!

[GaryW]

@pattyblue Thanks! I agree.

[GaryW]

@valerina Thank you, Valerina.

[KV]

Hey Gary... forgot to ask... did you mean the title to be sanctuary instead of sanitary?

[GaryW]

@kvphoto I did not notice that until I saw your review. Obviously I meant sanctuary! 😁

[Danette Thompson]

@thewatersphotos I've sold a number of church buildings. In this case, we outgrew the building and built a larger campus. Another congregation bought ours. In each case I was involved, they all remained churches and/or synagogues.
