FACT SHEET
History: Memorial Baptist Church was built in 1925 through a merger of Englis and Welsh Baptist congregations. A Gothic stone architecture was chosen due to its ageless beauty and worshipful qualities. Beautiful oak woodwork throughout and large stained-glass windows depicting the Baptism of Jesus, and Jesus with the Children, accentuate the beauty of the edifice. Both the 1936 and 1977 floods damaged the church, however God's dedicated members brought the church through such difficult times. Staff: Our pastor is Rev. Dr. David A. Hill. He graduated from Latrobe High School ('71); West Virginia Wesleyan College (B.A. '75); and Gordon-Cornwell Theological Seminary (M.Div. '79 & Doctorate '89). He has been in the ministry since 1973, and has served chruches in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Illinois. He live in Westmont and has two married children, Rachel & Daniel. Pastor Hill began full-time with us in July of 2000. His gifts are preaching, teaching, music, pastoral care, encouraging others, counseling and administration. He deeply loves the Lor and people, and shares that love through his commitment and humor.
