The church is located on eight oak‐shaded acres in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ours is a prosperous, modern city and region of 2.3 million that is one of the great success stories of the New South. Myers Park Baptist Church was founded in 1943 by a visionary group of families that shared a dream: to build a church that preached the gospel and reflected the spirit of religious freedom rooted in the Baptist tradition. They also envisioned a place where people would have the right to interpret scripture for themselves and where congregants could serve as priests to one another. The cornerstones of our ministry have always been a free pulpit, thoughtful education, an extensive local and national outreach ministry, and worship that is beautiful and draws upon the historic traditions of the church. In the words of our first senior minister, Dr. George Heaton, “A free pulpit is the very essence of religious and political democracy . A free pulpit means encouragement to break new trails in thought and action; a free pulpit is a great bulwark against tyranny.” For more than 70 years, we've built a reputation as a place where members are encouraged to ask questions, debate issues and seek truth. The church has flourished under the leadership of strong senior ministers, strong lay leadership and high‐quality staff. Our doors are open to all who wish to follow Jesus on a journey of faith. Myers Park Baptist is a healthy church in the midst of transitions − from one senior minister to another; from an aging congregation to one rich in younger members and families; from a haven for progressive Baptists to a home for members from many denominational and faith backgrounds. The church is seeking a strong preacher and a vigorous leader who, as Senior Minister, will work with the congregation to build on the church’s progressive tradition as embodied in its open and inquiring approach to theology, its dedication to Christian education and its commitment to taking care of people in need. The following pages provide a profile of our church’s history, its facilities, budget and staff, its programs and the city that is its home. You will read what our members think of our church, and how others see us. And in these pages you will see the challenges and opportunities awaiting our new Senior Minister, only the sixth in our 71‐year history. We are people on a journey of faith. With prayers that we will find God’s will for our future, we are looking for the right man or woman to become our Senior Minister and experience that exciting journey as a part of our spirited, challenging, sometimes contentious, always dedicated community of faith. 4 OUR COVENANT AND CORE VALUES THE COVENANT We, the members of the Myers Park Baptist Church, are a people on a journey of faith. By God's grace we are experiencing God's love through Jesus Christ and the community of the faithful. We are discovering in this experience our freedom to become new creatures and our responsibility to be faithful stewards of our lives and of this world. We will be open to all new light, strengthened by God and each other in our faith. We will sustain a critical examination of Scripture, belief and ritual as interpreters of God's active presence in the world. We will accept controversy as a reality of life together and an opportunity for growth toward maturity. We covenant to be a community of God's new creation and affirm that we are open to all and closed to none. We covenant together to nurture this church as a community of faith and as an instrument for reconciliation in the world: by worship, by Christian education, by the dedication of our personal and material resources, and by all the other ways we express the significance of our lives with God and one another. We covenant together to be priests celebrating God's presence in community and in the world, believing we are participants in God's kingdom on earth. Adopted January 11, 1981; amended October 13, 2002 Our covenant declares, ‘We THE CORE VALUES will be open to all new light, strengthened by God and • Connectedness as a Community of Faith each other in our faith.’ • Intentional Worship Whether that new light is • Inclusiveness generated through • Growth and Learning companionship, intellectual • Making a Difference challenge, or wholehearted wisdom, the journey of faith Adopted Fall 2008 as part of the church’s Holy Conversations is a vital, vibrant, spirited ― discernment work. anything but stagnant ― process at MPBC. ― Carol Reid 5 WWAHO E RE In January of 2014, the Senior Minister Search Group conducted a congregation‐wide survey to help discern members’ hopes, dreams and aspirations for the new senior minister and the future of the church. 455 individuals participated. The data below represent a sampling of the demographic information about the congregation gathered as part of that survey. See page 23 for more results.

Yet twelve Baptist laymen, all members of thriving local Baptist churches, met on a Sunday afternoon in 1942 at the Charlotte YMCA to discuss the need for a Baptist congregation in Myers Park. Each wrote a $10 check to start a church treasury. The new church held its organizational meeting at Queens College, a Presbyterian liberal arts school, on January 17, 1943, and proclaimed, “We do … constitute ourselves a Missionary Baptist Church.” Worship began February 7, 1943, at Queens. A stellar lineup of preachers gave the new church a strong ecumenical send‐off: the presidents of Queens, Davidson and Coker Colleges and a faculty member from Wake Forest College. The congregation set out the following goals: • We are going to build a Baptist church that will be in full fellowship with all other Baptist churches. • We intend to exercise the inherent freedom of the Baptist position … to more effectively and more adequately meet the need of our … contemporary generation. • We intend to build a Baptist church which will cause young and old, however cultured, learned or sensitive, to be proud of their membership in a Baptist church. • We intend to build a Baptist church which will belong to the people, and which will never … deteriorate into a privileged social group. • We intend to … send out into … Christendom spiritually powerful lay leaders who will … understand the breadth … of the Christian faith. The church called its first minister in August

Phase I Reconnaissance Survey Methodology In 2012, the City of Charlotte was awarded a federal grant from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) to conduct a Phase I (reconnaissance level) architectural survey of Charlotte. The Phase I survey is anticipated to be the first of five (two reconnaissance-level and three intensive-level) investigations of architectural resources within the central city. This project is designed to support future planning efforts as well as local historic landmark and district designations, conservation district designations, and National Register nominations.

  • Post World War II Survey Study
    Final Report: Post World War Two Survey Sherry Joines Wyatt & Sarah Woodard for David E. Gall Architects. Click here to see National Register eligible properties UNCC students in the History 6000 Historic Preservation class spent hours examining newspapers and journals of the post-World War Two era. Without their work this report would have been impossible to produce. Click here to see the results of the students' work. In 1945, the western world was emerging from a long, dark tunnel of economic depression and world-wide war. In the United States, the light at the end of that tunnel illuminated the deficiencies and shortages left after years focused solely on survival. Thus, with the conclusion of war, the country rushed to satisfy the needs and wants of a population overwhelmed and exhilarated by returning servicemen and a newly invigorated economy. The post-war years saw common citizens experience economic prosperity not previously known. This, in turn, sparked a renewal and explosive expansion of trends begun in the wealthy 1920s. Some of the most notable and important of these patterns, with respect to the built environment, were suburban expansion, transportation improvements and accessibility, and a renewed interest in Modernist ideas about architecture. These three national trends created the three local contexts of community planning, transportation, and architecture in which Charlotte’s post-war Modernist architecture developed. An examination of these contexts and the dynamic changes in the booming, post-war New South City of Charlotte between 1945 and 1965 can serve as a case study of the historical climate in which post-war architecture evolved throughout North Carolina.
