My spirit, my soul will always be a member of Springfield Baptist Church. It provided the religious, educational, and leadership skills that shaped me who I am today. .
I fondly remember seeing this church as a child and reading about it as an adult. One side of my family is from the Jackson area and the other side is from Wrens were they attended another Springfield. I grew up in Augusta!
WOW! I’d love to know more. I’ve never seen the Silver Bluff Church in SC. I’d live for you to watch on Sunday; but there’s also the @Blackstack BookClub starting at the same 1 PM EST. You must listen to the recording if you can’t make the live. Thank you for letting me know you’re from Augusta. I want to know more about life there for you and what you’re doing now. I followed you .
I always learn so much history from you! I loved reading about this church.
Thanks Lisa. Hope you’ll tune in tomorrow from 1-1:30 PM to hear the LIVE discussion.
I have been to this church as a History graduate student in one of Dr. Eskew’s many required treks through Georgia.
Do you remember what year you were there? Did you attend a service or a tour? Am wondering who might have been pastor. My last visit was 2001.

The history of the church is amazing to contemplate and I can see why you are proud to be a member. Thanks for sharing!
