Friendship Baptist Church, Ellenboro, is Completed, 1952


“New Ellenboro Church Finished,” from the April 1, 1952 issue of The Carolina News, Forest City, N.C.
New Friendship Church Ready After Many Vicissitudes and Delays
Friendship Baptist Church located in Ellenboro has been completed, and a recent session of The Gold Hill Sunday School Convention was held there. It is recalled that the congregation of that church had been trying for several years to build a house of worship. The movement has been led by Miss Hester Walker, for several years a member of the public school system of Rutherford County, and other interested persons in and around Ellenboro.
The walls of the new church were up about two years ago when a wind storm came and blew them down, but the group were determined not to give up, hence they began rebuilding and today their church is a reality. Their determination and courage in the face of great disadvantages prove again that those can, who think they can.
