 By His Grace, For His Glory!
The 1970s
Did you know…
- That in November 1971, Ingleside hosted a Lay Institute for
Evangelism facilitated by Campus Crusade for Christ and attended by
more than 500 people from many denominations across the city.
- That it was on September 15, 1974, that the Moller pipe organ was
formally dedicated. The pipe organ was made possible by a generous
gift from Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Rader in memory of their son, Logan
Carson. Installation of the organ was part of a larger renovation of
the entire Worship Center which included new HVAC systems, a new sound
system, and new paint inside and out.
- In 1975, Ingleside led the way in a community-wide evangelistic
effort called "Reachout, " at the Macon Coliseum. Dr. Ralph Newton,
Jr., was the Crusade Chairman, and the preaching was done by
evangelist Leighton Ford of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Ingleside in May 1955, resigned on July 1, 1978. His last Sunday in
