Court Street Baptist Church

Awesome place for worship. Beautiful stained glass Church, traditional service with a non judgmental members.

Court Street Baptist Church, founded in 1789, was burned down and rebuilt in1901 of pink granite quarried in Salisbury, N. C. This church is one of only two Baptist churches in this exuberant Romanesque Revival style in the nation.  The other is in Tennessee. The stained glass is also exceptional in its design, with yellow and shocking pink predominating. The windows go up the stairwells to the towers. When hit by full sunlight this creates a golden glow in the church that is quite unique. The church recently has received a Virginia historical marker. On November 10th. 2019. Pastor Dr. Wilber Kersey has been serving the church for 60 years and st 86 yrs old is still going strong. The church has No bell to Ring. But you can hear the bells of a church down the road. I went to this church to photograph and document a very beautiful historic church and its congregation.

In downtown Portsmouth Va.and the stain glass windows are gorgeous.The whole building is very historical and over 237 years old.As soon as you walk in people will greet you and make you feel welcome.

Love this church
