Cowpens First Baptist Church holds first service after devastating fire
It s often said that a church isn t a building, it s a people.
The members of Cowpens First Baptist Church proved this adage true Sunday when they gathered for worship, not even a full day after their church was destroyed in a fire Saturday afternoon. When I saw the fire, my first thought was heartbreak, and my second thought was, Where are we meeting Sunday? So we got to moving and people started pouring in and offering all kinds of support, said Interim Pastor Rev. Kermit Morris.
Firefighters from Cowpens, Converse, Drayton, Corinth, Macedonia, and Goucher White Plains arrived at Cowpens First Baptist, located at 108 W. Church St., at 2:36 p.m. the day of the blaze to see the church engulfed in flames and smoke billowing out of the building s second floor, visible from six miles away. The building was a complete loss.
