“The sanctuary is strikingly beautiful,” they say. Druid Hills Baptist Church. What secrets does it hold? Built in 1928 this beautiful church, Druid Hills Baptist Church, wasn’t always known by that name. It was originally established in 1914 under a slightly different name, a name that hinted at its innovation: Druid Hills Baptist Church. The church embraced change, a testament to its commitment to growth and progress. Druid Hills Baptist Church was a pioneer, a leader among its peers, boasting ‘firsts’ that resonated throughout the Baptist community in the South. Imagine. The first Vacation Bible School, a concept now so familiar, originated right here within these very walls. They embraced the changing world, becoming the first with a co-ed adult class, challenging traditional norms. Even its architecture reflects this forward-thinking spirit, designed by the renowned architect Edward Emmett Dougherty, the building exudes a timeless elegance. In 2015, Druid Hills Baptist Church underwent another transformation, a renaming that reflected its location and celebrated its past. It became The Church at Ponce & Highland, a beacon in the heart of Atlanta, a symbol of enduring faith, embracing both history and the promise of a bright future.
