Staff Reports
First Baptist Church's South Campus will begin construction of the Jesmarie Harvey Hurst Memorial Outdoor Wedding Venue and Marriage Center in a groundbreaking ceremony Monday.
Jesmarie began to follow her savior as a young girl. Mrs. Hurst was married to Charles Hurst for 51 years until her death in 2006, according to a written release.
"She was passionate about the power and commitment of marriage, and she and Dr. Hurst wanted to find more ways for the truths of the Bible to impact and help marriages," reads the release.
The facility is expected to be open for weddings in the spring of 2013.
