Fulton churches merge two congregations to form one
The First Baptist and First Presbyterian Churches in Fulton will merge starting next year sharing a pastor, finances and operations after a summer trial. Interim pastor Rev. Alen Wollenberg led the three congregations and will chair a joint committee to choose the best building and a pastoral search for a new pastor. Community members stressed resource sharing and continuity, noting the church is the people, not the building.
