First Baptist Church of Bratt Celebrates 100 Years
November 3, 2008
The First Baptist Church of Bratt celebrated its 100th anniversary recently.
About 350 members and visitors attended the anniversary celebration. The celebration included singing from the church’s Worship Choir, Senior Adult Choir (Golden Bratt Choir), FBC Bratt Quartet, Worship Ensemble and the Youth Band.
Between each singing group there were different presentations including a reading of the church history. There was special recognition of the Hanks family; Lindsey G. Hanks donated land and built first church building in 1908. There was also a video presentation, which included photos from Lindsey Hanks, and historical and modern day photos from around the church. A Florida Baptist Historical Society Award was also presented.
Rev. Lawson Jolly gave the Homecoming Message and lunch was served following the morning services.

My father Robert Grover Key was pastor of Bratt First Baptist Church in the 1950s and I was just entering my teens. Does anyone remember him?
My brother John Key married Grace Hanks, now Grace Jerkins. Does anyone have an address for hers???
Does anyone have the names of the persons shown in the 1946 photo and are there any more photos?
thanks Grace Hanks Jerkins
I am interested in the Hanks family. My maternal grandfather was Lathaniel Hanks. Could you give me a contact to talk with to get information on the Hanks family? Does the church have documents about the families?
Thanks

No wonder the church has grown. Look at all those children in the 1946 photo!
