Eudora Baptist marks 60 years of growth and service
At a Sunday service in Eudora the church celebrated six decades since its founding by Wilber Noble. Members recalled the 1951 encounter on Main Street that sparked a church in the home and later a permanent site. The congregation, about 300 weekly, continues mission work, benevolence outreach, and youth programs with support from Baptist Builders for Christ and aid to a tornado-destroyed Alabama church.
