Church of Christ breaks ground for new facility on

Redwine

The Fayetteville Church of Christ

announces ground breaking for a new facility on the

corner of Redwine and Price Roads in Fayetteville. After

a picnic on the grounds, a ceremony to commemorate this

event was held on Sunday, April 25th, 1999. On this site

a building is planned to include an auditorium that will

seat 650 people, offices, class rooms, and a fellowship

hall. "We are excited about moving into the new

millennium and the potential this new building will have

for serving the needs of our community," explained

Scott Harp, the minister for the church.

The church

of Christ has been a part of the Fayetteville community

for nearly 50 years. In the early 1950's tent meetings

were held on the lot where the old Railroad Depot in

downtown is today. Other meeting places include the

American Legion Post House, the former Fayetteville

School Band House, and at 300 South Glynn Street. The

previous church building utilized is on the corner of Ga.

Highway 85 North and Pine Street across from the Fayette

Pavilion. After outgrowing that facility they have made

their temporary home at 207 Jeff Davis Place across from

Pike Nursery in Fayetteville while the new building is

under construction at Redwine Road.

This is a

congregation on the move for the Lord in a number of

ways. Recently the youth group excelled at the annual

lads to Leaders/Leaderettes conference in Atlanta earlier

in April. Many of the group brought home certificates,

medals, and trophies for their efforts in song leading,

puppet shows, art work, and scripture reading to name a

few. Also, the congregation has embraced today's

technology with an excellent web site at ww.fcoc.com.

Credits go to Vicki Baker for her efforts in developing

this site that informs the community of the church's

focus on the bible, history, activities, and other

important information.

The elders

of the Fayetteville Church of Christ are Ray Cozart,

Virgil Richie, Wayne Nash, David Lee, and Bill Benton.

The church invites everyone to visit their worship

services at any time. They meet at 9 a.m. Sunday for

Bible Classes and 10 a.m. for worship. Evening services

are at 6 p.m. with midweek Bible Study on Wednesdays at

7:15 p.m. For more information call 770-461-3617 or visit
