We Bought a Building

We bought the church at 1801 State St where we still meet today. This church building was a “fixer”. Churches from East Shore Baptist Church, The Baptist Association of PA South Jersey, East Belmont Baptist Church, and Mt. Siani Baptist Church all poured energy, finances, and the Grace of God on Transcend helping to restore the building.

Transcend Church Becomes First Reformed Baptist

As the world continued on, Transcend Church didn’t communicate the Reformed Scriptocentric convictions of its members and so First Reformed Baptist Church was born (more about that here).
