Baptist Church located in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1957, Vestavia Hills was a mere seven years old but it was obviously in a growth mode. Sensing the need for an additional Baptist church to serve the growing community, the Vestavia Hills Baptist Church was organized on May 1, 1957. The mission of this new church was stated in a printed bulletin: “We of the Vestavia Hills Baptist Church associate ourselves historically and traditionally with the church established by Jesus. Our aim shall be that which we believe to be the directive of him whom we call Lord. We seek to worship God with dignity and sincerity. We desire to learn together the facts and truths of the Christian faith. And we want to be teachers of these truths. We believe them to be the only adequate way of life. We are a fellowship of concern. Because of the love and forgiveness of God which we have experienced, we seek to love all mankind and to demonstrate that forgiveness.” At this point, Vestavia Hills Baptist Church adopted the slogan of “The Church with a View”.
