Who we are
Alice Bell Baptist Church began as a mission of Broadway Baptist Church during the week of February 3-10, 1947, when Broadway conducted revival services in Union Chapel on Washington Pike with Dr. Ramsay Pollard as evangelist. The response by the community residents encouraged Broadway Baptist Church to sponsor a mission in the community that would meet regularly in the Union Chapel. The first meeting of the mission congregation on February 16, 1947, with 26 persons presenting themselves for membership in the mission church.
In early 2011 the church, working with a structural engineer and architect, determined that we should vacate the west wing of our education building due to structural problems with a primary wall. After further structural evaluation and consideration of ministries that would benefit the neighborhood and help us to meet our ministry goals, the church determined that our best course of action would be to replace the building rather than repair it.
Falconnier Design Company was authorized to develop plans for a new multi-purpose building. It was to have classrooms, a new kitchen, and a gymnasium with room for future expansion. George W. Reagan Company was secured as contractor. Demolition of the west educational building took place on October 19, 2012. The new building was completed in August of 2013. The building was named the Alice Bell Ministry Center on August 14, 2013. It was dedicated on September 8, 2013.
