Mableton First Baptist Church

1940

The Rev. G. C. Light served the Church from February 1941 to October 1943.

Rev. J. H. Knight served from 1943 to 1950. During this time a Sunday School annex was built onto the Church building. N. B. Ayers headed building Committee. A pastorium was purchased on Floyd Road.

It is believed that the first organized choir was in 1944 when work was done on the choir loft and church approved the purchase of choir robes.

In 1946, Director of Church Music Department was Mrs. Shearer and Church Chorister was Mr. L. C. Stewart and Mr. Ray Griggs. None of these were paid directors. (This information from Mrs. Hembree's history.)
