From page 1A
the 1930 s - now grown to
over 800 acres of property
with numerous cabins dot
ting the rolling landscape
and a brand-new sanctuary
just opened last year - the
ties of faith for Christ’s
Sanctified Holy Church are
§s strong as ever, according
to the Rev. Floyd Hagan, a
member of the governing
body of the church.
From Saturday through
July 23, the campground,
which is home to several
older members, will fill with
people of all ages and from
all over the country as they
gather for a week of praise,
prayer and fellowship.
The small streets that
bear Biblical names like
Jericho that wind through
the campground will fill
with pedestrians, golf carts
and other modes of trans
portation as families enjoy
visiting each other and
being a part of the services
and activities that take place
during the eight days.

Commission Chair E.L.
Greenway explained to the
people that there could be
no development on the prop
erty without the commis
sion’s approving a building
plat. Greenway said that
any such decision would be
advertised beforehand and
they could come back and
make their feelings known
then.
The commission approved
the annexation of a 12.044-
acre plot located at the
intersection of U.S. 41 and
Russell Parkway. The prop
erty was zoned C-2 for com
mercial development.
The property is owned by
Robins Federal Credit
Union and a representative
said that a branch bank
would be built there along
with other commercial
development “that would be
a credit to Robins Federal as
well as Warner Robins.
Robins Federal Credit
Union has been a good cor
porate citizen of Warner
Robins and we would do
nothing to harm the city.”

Hagan.
They fill the cottages on
the property built especially

A number of older people
are year-round residents of
the campgrounds.
The Church Home for the
Aged, a nursing home, is
also located on the property
and is a place of care not
only for older members of
Christ’s Sanctified Holy
Church, but also residents of
the local community.
“Christ’s Sanctified Holy
Church has a long history of
caring for the elderly,” said
Hagan.
The first nursing home on
the property was a farm
house built in the 1800 s. It
was destroyed by fire in the
19605.
Another was built and
used until the 1980 s.

Today’s Church Home for
the Aged is a 51-bed facility.
These residents receive
interaction from camp meet
ing-goers each year and sup
port from year-round resi
dents each day.
Also on the grounds is a
peaceful spot where over
700 church members are
buried.
Throughout the year,
members of the church who
pass away are brought to the
cemetery.
No matter where they
reside at the time of their
death, many want to be
brought to this place of
warm memories and love for
their final resting place.
The remains of the
church’s founder, Joseph
Lynch, was moved from his
initial resting place in
Fernandina, Fla., a few
years ago, to the camp
grounds.
