144 Years Of Providence

Providence
Lynn and I were privileged to worship with our friends at Providence Baptist Church on Tuscaloosa here in Greensboro as they celebrated their 144th anniversary as a congregation and the 44th year with Pastor Dr. Howard Chubbs.

In 1866, one year after the Civil War, a band of worshipers organized a religious group under a brush arbor, near East Market Street of Greensboro, NC. This group was the humble beginning of what was destined to be known as The Providence Baptist Church. In 1871 a one-room frame building was constructed. In addition to being a place of worship, it served as a community school. Four years later, the congregation of Providence Baptist Church erected on the same site, the first brick and mortar church for African Americans in the state.

City redevelopment efforts during the early 1960s resulted in the demolition of the one-room church. For a short period, members met on Sundays in the Richard Berry Harrison Auditorium on the campus of NC A&T State University (then A&T College). In December of 1967, Providence moved into its current edifice on Tuscaloosa Street. The church was expanded in 1986 and then again in the 90’s.

In November 2007, the Howard Allen Chubbs Family Enrichment Center, a 32,000 sq. ft. facility, was dedicated.

Unleashed

When the Brian Carn Unleashed Tour blew into Greensboro last weekend for a two night engagement at the Marriott Downtown it wasn’t the only star of the show. CareySounds latest version Dynacord Cobra V.2 System shared star billing at the event drawing rave reviews from the attendees. Major upgrades to the Cobra system include the addition of the new EV DVX 15” loudspeakers and new power and processing provided by EV TG Tour Grade amplifies with built-in RCM 26 system processors and new F.I.R. presets.

The unprecedented power and clarity in the newest version of the compact Dynacord Cobra was clearly evident as the high-fidelity system performed flawlessly throughout the engagement. The new V.2 version of the Cobra is now exclusively available in America through CareySound.

Digital Solutions

Digital systems are dramatically changing the installed audio landscape. The scales have tipped in the cost/ benefit ratio in favor of deploying digital solutions as compared to their analogue predecessors. These two system upgrades that CareySound has just completed at Calvary Christian Center and Providence Baptist Church provide a two great examples of the advantages of digital workflows.
