Walnut Street Baptist Church (Louisville, Kentucky)

It was decided to move as the congregation had outgrown its facility with Sunday school attendance topping 1000.

By the 1960s the congregation was responsible for starting directly or indirectly 78 churches in the Long Run Association encompassing the Louisville area.

Peak attendance in this period exceeded 3,500 in Sunday School and weekly worship.

In the 1990s the congregation recommitted itself to its downtown philosophy by undertaking a multimillion-dollar campus update.

Today the congregation has active ministries including a retirement home, subsidized apartments, a counseling center, weekly worship, Christian education, Christian social ministry, global mission partnerships, and recreational activities, and sustains a membership of over 2,500.
