WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Landmark Gulfport Church Comes Down After 91 Years

WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: Landmark Gulfport Church Comes Down After 91 Years: "It's a place where several generations of families have gone to worship and to pray. Now the members of First Baptist Church in Gulfport are saying goodbye to the downtown church. Wednesday, crews began demolishing the 91-year-old church.

Katrina destroyed First Baptist Church's sanctuary as well as several adjacent buildings. Although the church has been the waterfront since 1915, the congregation decided not to rebuild there."
