Congregation Plans Anniversary Celebration By Chelsea Peifer
The congregation of Ebenezer Baptist Church, 2100 Fishing Creek Road, Wrightsville, will host a 150th anniversary celebration on Saturday and Sunday, July 28 and 29. The public is invited to attend the event, which will commemorate and look back on the history of the building since it was constructed in 1868. According to pastor Mark Fillmore, the building originally housed the congregation of the Ebenezer Evangelical United Brethren Church for 100 years. The structure was remodeled in 1904, and the basement was dug out in the 1960s, with bathrooms and Sunday school rooms being added to the newly finished basement layout as well.
