Whereas, in 1965 the church dedicated a new building and renamed the church College Street Baptist Church; and
Whereas, the congregation of College Street Baptist Church refused to let tragedy stand in the way of God's work and rebuilt the church after it was completely destroyed by fire on December 2, 1968; and
Whereas, College Street Baptist Church continues to be an extraordinary influence on the Upstate of South Carolina after one hundred years of leadership, service, and dedication to the moral and spiritual growth of the Upstate community; and
