Following that first Sunday of fellowship
and worship at Roberts Park Recreational Center, Christian Faith Baptist
Church subsequently found temporary habitation at Shaw University in the
campus church. From February 25, 1990 through May, 1990 the church worshiped
from the Shaw University campus; and then on June 3, 1990 the church relocated
to rented space at Shaw Divinity School. When official determination
w as made
to relocate Shaw Divinity School back to the campus of Shaw University,
Christian Baptist Church sought and was granted first right of refusal
on the property. On October 8, 1993 Christian Faith Baptist Church purchased
the Shaw Divinity School property, some three acres consisting of a modern
sanctuary, education building, separate chapel (now housing the Shaw Divinity
School library), three brick rental residences, and ample parking. Christian
Faith Baptist Church, Inc. at the time of purchase of the current location
was only three years old; but by the grace of God was able to secure a
mortgage of some $800,000. Recently the Lord has blessed the church to
secure a new $30,000 Allen Digital Computerized Church Organ and modern
sound enhancement system. A mission-minded congregation, Christian Faith
Baptist Church commits annually in excess of $75,000 to support a variety
of mission objectives, including Saturday meals to the elderly and needy. |
