First Baptist of Long Beach marks 75 years
In May 1894 J C Blair and six Baptists organized Long Beach First Baptist. The church, ground broken by Rev S S Fisk, grew from a single hall to a major downtown center with a notable missionary program and extensive local outreach. The 75th anniversary runs May 19 25 with dinners, ceremonies, and a civic banquet.
