AI Summary
Founded by missionaries near the Portsmouth waterfront in 1890 and formally recognized on the fourth Sunday in May, Fourth Baptist Church combines deep roots with sustained leadership—from its first full‑time pastor in 1916 to Rev. Dr. Charles W. Beamon, who has served since 1996. The congregation meets in a 30,070 sq. ft. facility dedicated in 1994 after a 1990 fire and includes the Charles W. Beamon Life Application Center (built 2012), a versatile ~200‑person space with a large kitchen, sound system and drop screen that is available for weddings, receptions, meetings and trainings. With more than 408 members, the church stays connected through a quarterly newsletter ("Now Run Tell That"), an active Facebook page, a Telephone Prayer Line (276‑807‑9605, access code 985155) and online giving via Givelify. Visitors and volunteers are welcomed—support services such as counseling and grief support are offered, and volunteer inquiries may be sent to churchadmin@fourthbaptistchurch.com.
