First Baptist Church 200th Anniversary Celebration


The First Baptist Church in Columbia, Missouri recently celebrated its 200th anniversary. The anniversary celebration consisted of a post-church catered lunch with Trivia, personal testimonies, and last but not least.... a presentation of the missing portrait from Stephens College. You heard that right! One day, church members were going through the attic of the church and came across an old portrait. They later found out that the portrait was the missing mate to a portrait residing at Stephens College. The two are now together due to the sweet presentation of the portrait from the Church's pastor to Stephens College's current President.


I was unfortunately unavailable to photograph this event personally but my wonderful assistant, Bre, was available to step in and take care of them. So, you'll be seeing a gallery of photos from her eyes instead of mine this time! You may have already had the chance to meet Bre if you were at the Columbia Chamber of Commerce Small Business Fest 2023 as she welcomed you at our booth and photographed some of that event for us as well. It's exciting to expand our availability through the addition of Bre to the team so we can say YES to being a part of your wonderful events even when my own calendar is full.
