Passing through Opelika, we couldn't miss this massive white beacon of a church and the historical…read moremarker out front that gives a clean, chronological snapshot of its past. We were here early on a Saturday morning, so we didn't stay for services, but even from the sidewalk you can tell this is one of the city's long‑standing anchors. The marker reads, "On this site in October 1859, the Opelika Baptist Church was organized. In 1861, a "little white framed church" was erected. After a fire consumed this original building, a new structure was built in 1885. This building was referred to as the "big brick church". A larger sanctuary was built in 1954, and an educational building was constructed in 1959. Structural additions were completed in succeeding years. These included an educational building in 1964 and a chapel in 1966. Later expansion included a new family life center in 1979. An enlarged sanctuary, new office facilities, a youth building and additional educational classrooms were completed in 2008. To God Be the Glory! Great Things He Hath Done! "Lifting Up Jesus and Loving People"" The marker was erected by the First Baptist Church. It does what good local markers should do: it ties the modern building to the long arc of the congregation's life, from a small frontier‑era gathering in 1859 to a large, multi‑building campus that has grown alongside Opelika itself.

This is my favorite church. St. Michael is a very open church that welcomes everyone. Fr. Bill is…read morethe main priest and is quite friendly. Mass is held at four different times on Sundays. 7am (Latin mass), 10:30am (the ones that I attend & has the most parishioners), 5pm (high school based), and 8pm (college based). There might be a Korean mass in between 12-3pm, but I'm not completely sure. St. Michael is the only Catholic church in town and a very nicely decorated one it is. It is very modernized and this particular building was built about 5 years ago, as an expansion of the previous location.

They cooked a welcome meal and we spent a joyful afternoon learning about all they do in Auburn. We learned a bit of their challenges.

Looking forward to more good time. Shalom Chaverim
