~EastwoodBaptist plans new church~~..{ _..,

':~:Eastwood Baptist Church has pur-:':clfaseda 6.8 acre tract of Iaiid behind:',Whitley's Funeral Home for con-I i~ruction of a new sanctuary andrfamily life center to house the grow-':ilig congregation.~;.In announcing the purchase, the~church board expressed gratitude to,Kannapolis businessman Troy Day'·£01' his generosity inmaking a $90,000"contributlon to the church.,;·'.That contribution came in the form~oCa discounted price for the landlfhich appraised at $240,000. "We ap-

I .preciate very much his giving us a;:g1ft of $90,000," said Rev. J.L. Cook,:p~or.

'J ~.$

;.i ...Purchase of the land comes after"more than a year's search by the~deacons and trustees. "Wemust have:',~Q9kedat at least 30 different pieces"ofJand," Cooksaid.: -:,However, the availability of the"fqrmer Cook estate property only a~b!9ck from the present church com-nplex on Cook Street helped seal thedecision to buy. A key element, the":pastor said, was the fact that the

church board was committed to stay-ing inside the city limits."For our deacons and trust-

ees...their greatest goal was to keepthis church inside the city of Kan-napolis," Cooksaid. He attributes therapid increase of membership to thesupport oflocal people."The growth of this church has re-

ally amazed this City," said Cook. "Infact, it has amazed other churches."Since 1987 Sunday School atten-

dance has grown from about 150 to400 each week. Earlier this year thechurch set a new record at 537. At-! tendance at church services average500.Those nwnbers have put pressure

on the present facilities which arenow too small. Tentative plans andsketches for a newbuilding have beendrawn.According to Cook, plans for the

new site call for construction of anauditoriwn to seat 900. In addition,there will be wings for adequate Sun-day School rooms and a family life,center. Altogether, the projectedconstruction cost of the facility is $1.6

million. It is hoped construction willbegin by the end ofthe year., Cook said the church plans to hold"Pledge Sunday" March 29 to raisethe $150,000 to pay for the propertyacquisition. "We hope to have it paidoff by July 19." ,The church will not abandon its

present physical plant. Cook saidthere are plans to convert the build-ing for use as a retirement home.Growth of.the church over the past

five years is linked by Cook to theseveral special ministries ofEastwood and the fact that "We are apraise church."It all centers around the

fellowship here. Our people have aloving spirit and there is a caringfellowship," Cook said. He describesthe congregation as conservativeSouthern Baptist.Members are committed to the

community and helping people inKannapolis. "Our people are ordi-nary folks," Cook said, "and we be-lieve in giving people a secondchance."

Last year the church spent morethan $20,000 helping people in Kan-napolis in need.Among the ministries of the church

ill an active senior group, a youthfellowship organization that meets onWednesdays, a day care programwith 100 children enrolled, an exten-sive musical program, and the larg-est single adult fellowship in Cabar-rus County,The church was organized by Rev.

Don Jordan on Sept. 24, 1970 as CookStreet Baptist Church, an indepen-dent Baptist church. On April ,26,1972, members under the leadershipofRev. Floyd Helms voted to becomeEastwood Baptist Church and iaf-filiate with the Southern BaptistConvention and the Cabarrus BaptistAssociation. ~InDec., 1971, the church purchased

the current property from All SaintsEpiscopal Church for $45,000. Thechurch structure is now the educa-tional building for Eastwood and thepresent sanctuary was completed in1f!86.
