Yes. I remember it from the late 50's - early 60's. I was a big part of my childhood. Is it still there?

Where was it on Hollencamp? My grandma lived at 437 Hollencamp for 60 years until the late 70s and I don't remember it. I went to church at 32 Malden Avenue all through the 60s and early 70s.

I moved to Calif. in 1965 after high school. I do not remember the exact location. I think it was near 3rd st. I looked on Google Earth and I think there is a church in that area now.

What years did you go there? We might know each other.

I was born in 1956 and I went to the church my whole life until it closed in 1971. The building was sold and it is now known as True Vine Baptist Church. The church is one block from Third Street on Hollencamp.

Was your church at 32 Malden Ave? The community center was on Hollencamp.

The names of two of the people who worked there when I was young were Dee & Rich, if I remember correctly.

I remember a Christmas play where a girl named Bootsie Baker was the angel. I won a trophy for selling the most of the "centers" newsletters called The Saga.

Yes the address for the church was 32 Malden Avenue. My grandparents were one of the founding families and their names are on the cornerstone.
