DESTROYED ROANE CHURCH RISES FROM ASHES

(02/25/2008)

It has been one year since the People's Baptist Church in Roane County burned to the ground. Yesterday, there was a celebration of a new church at a new location. The congregation spent the last year turning a former machine repair shop into their new house of worship. The church never stopped worshiping and never lost a member, according to Pastor Darrin Cale. They now have 35 more members than they did a year ago. The old church was 112 years old. It was located at the intersection of Egypt Ridge and Triplett Road. Investigators blame the fire on electrical problems. Country Church Burns To Ground Congregation Holds Service After Tragic Fire
