On Sunday, August 30, 2026 the congregation of Chimney Rock Baptist Church celebrated it’s centennial at our Worship Service. All Members past and present, as well as people from the Community were invited.
The Service began with Pastor Alex Heafner welcoming all of the attendees and offering a prayer which called everyone to worship. One of the highlights of the service featured Rodney Latimore, the former music director of CRBC, singing ‘People Need The Lord’. Next, some of the historic moments during the Church’s 100 year tenure were highlighted by Paula Moore. A prayer of Thanksgiving was offered by Rev. Gene Daggerhart, former Pastor of CRBC. His prayer and comments were immediately followed by a medley of Praise by the Congregation and Choir led by Mr. Latimore and the presence of The Holy Spirit filled the Sanctuary.
A plaque was presented from the Congregation by David Beihl and graciously received by Pastor Heafner. Pastor Alex’s sermon spoke about how King Solomon was permitted by The Lord to build a Temple and how The Lord promised to bless the Temple with his presence if the people followed His Law.
Overall the Celebration was a testimony to God’s love, His kept promises to His people, and His saving grace which was made available to us when He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to go to the cross for our salvation.
