On Sunday, October 26, we will gather to celebrate a milestone in the life of First Baptist Church of San Antonio—the 100th anniversary of our sanctuary.

Completed in 1925 at a cost of $267,000, the San Antonio Express described our sanctuary as “one of the finest in Texas.” For a century it has been a place of worship, prayer, and life-changing moments, and now we invite you to join us as we honor this remarkable legacy.

Celebration Schedule

11:00 AM Traditional Worship

• Choir’s call to worship will echo the same music sung at the 1925 dedication.

• Recognition of members baptized and married in the sanctuary.

• A special offertory moment where all members, including children, can bring monetary gifts to the altar.

4:30 PM All-Church Fellowship

• Children's scavenger hunt.

• Children’s artwork and essays on display.

• Videos of former pastors sharing memories.

• Hand-held vintage desserts (sign-up opportunity coming soon).

• Exhibit of vintage 1920s Model-T cars by the Texas T-Party club.

• Members are invited to dress in 1920s costumes—join the fun!

6:00 PM Worship Service

• Music by a massed choir of current and former singers.

• Premiere of a specially commissioned centennial choral anthem.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Please note: Because this joyful anniversary follows closely after our usual picnic date, there will be no church picnic this year. Instead, mark your calendars for October 26 and come celebrate a century of praise, worship, and witness in our beloved sanctuary.
