After four years of prayer and adjustment, the First Baptist Church has finally found a foundation for their services.

The new facility will be located at 370 Third Street in Beaver, and will be holding a dedication ceremony on May 29 at 3:00 PM, preceded by an open house that begins at 2:00 PM. The pastor of First Baptist Church, Reverend Cordell Fountain, talked with Matt Drzik on the May 20 edition of A.M. Beaver County to discuss the journey that the church and its congregation has went on in the last few years.

The original building had been destroyed by a fire in 2018, and the search to find a permanent home had been marred by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Through continued faith and perseverance, though, the new facility will allow the congregate to worship once again. “I just accredit the Lord for going before us,” Rev. Fountain said, “because we didn’t know what we were going to do. But we had faith, and the Lord led to this place…and we just believe that was his doing.”
