Assessment

First Baptist Church Charleston WV — the address 1105 Quarrier St does not match well-known results. WV Baptist Convention lists a First Baptist at 432 Shrewsbury Street, Charleston WV 25301 (Pastor Paul A.). The Quarrier Street address may be outdated or incorrect. Facebook page references 'House of Hope FBC.' Church identity needs verification. May be a historically Black Baptist church rather than SBC white congregation.
