1. Alabaster Bible Church Marker
Founded on land donated by U.S. Gypsum for the purpose of preaching the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
As gypsum provides materials for building our homes and offices, Jesus Christ provides materials for building our lives. "Upon this rock I will build my church." Matt. 16:18.
