Downtown bank becomes church home for First Presbyterian
The First Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem moved its activities to a former bank building on West Fourth Street in March 1970 while awaiting a new $1.8 million sanctuary. Led by Rev. David H. Burr and two other ministers, the storefront location increased public access and AA participation, with most functions centered in the former bank space and a portion kept at Salem Fine Arts Center. Church leaders hope to keep the site as a temporary outreach, noting it may return to commercial use once the new sanctuary is completed.
