Two churches become one with a vision to reach their community
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (BP) – Woodlawn Baptist Church recently celebrated their 94th anniversary. Mitch Tapson, pastor of 10 years, has seen church attendance drop by half as members have died over the last five years. He acknowledges that they had become an older congregation struggling to find ways to minister to a community of young professionals and young families. “The community had transitioned, but the church had not.”
