Welcome Home
Members of Southminster Presbyterian Church ranging in age from 16 months to 85 years gathered at Chick-fil-A in Vestavia Hills on June 6 for a dinner celebrating the 60th anniversary of the church. The restaurant sits on the original site of the Vestavia Hills Town Hall, where Southminster hosted its first worship service June 6, 1957. Seeded by Shades Valley Presbyterian Church along with Briarwood and Oakmont Presbyterian, Southminster was created to serve members who lived atop Shades Mountain. The 72 charter members raised the funds needed to break ground and build a sanctuary, which opened its doors March 6, 1960. As the church grew, the congregation continued to help finance an education wing, originally for Sunday school classes. The wing was also used to establish Southminster Day School in 1967, which celebrates its 50th anniversary alongside the church celebrations. Southminster’s 60th Anniversary Celebration will continue throughout the year with a Habitat for Humanity build in September, a “Welcome Home” celebration on the church grounds the weekend of Oct. 28 and a spring worship service recognizing current students and alumni of Southminster Day School. For more information, call 822-1124. ❖
