First Missionary Baptist Church in Moss Point reflects one year after tornado

In the immediate aftermath of the Moss Point tornado, images of one downtown church served as a stark reminder of the intensity of the storm.

You’ve seen the video of the utter destruction First Missionary Baptist Church after the storm, with walls ripped apart and large sections of the church’s roof missing.

One year later, the site of the church is an empty lot, but church members and leaders are looking ahead to the future with hope.

First Missionary is sharing facilities with First Baptist Church down the road, as plans to rebuild on the church’s original site continue.

Pastor Kevin Henry says there is a lot to be thankful for as the rebuilding process moves forward.

In the weeks to come, First Missionary church leaders will finalize plans for the new church building and will celebrate with the community with a groundbreaking ceremony.
