Growth Creed Fuels 500 Percent Rise At Emmanuel Baptist Temple
Pastor Rev Ed Hampton credits a positive attitude and biblical fundamentals for Emmanuel Baptist Temple's fivefold attendance growth from 78 in 1969 to 483 last year. The church runs nine Sunday buses around Hagerstown, with volunteers visiting homes to invite families to Sunday school. Hampton, a former engineer, designed the church built in 1970 on U S 40 west of Hagerstown and emphasizes youth outreach. He and 12 other local fundamentalist ministers support Maryland capital punishment, citing Romans 13:4 to justify state execution. He moved to Hagerstown in 1969 after leading a Yorktown church where families urged a new church. He sacrificed pay to become a pastor and prioritizes guiding teenagers to avoid drugs and join positive groups, aiming to lead local youth.
