Geocache Description:

BYOP. Congrats to Cassidey for the FTF.

This is our first hide. This cache is named after a billboard that is located on I-65 northbound between Montgomery and Birmingham. Anyone who has traveled north over the last 30 years on I-65 has seen the sign referenced. Heeding the sign's advice, we have hidden this cache at our church, Spring Hill Avenue United Methodist Church.

Spring Hill Avenue United Methodist Church has been ministering to the community and congregation of the Mobile area since 1874 when it had its beginnings in the home of Mrs. Jane Brightley on Spring Hill Avenue. The church became known as "The Four Mile Post Church". Later, in 1881, a one room church was built near the intersection of Spring Hill Avenue and Randolf Street. The church was on the Toulminville Circuit until 1898. At this time, it became part of a new circuit--the Crichton Circuit of the Alabama Conference. With this change the name of the church changed to Crichton Methodist Church. This name was retained until 1925 when the name became Spring Hill Avenue Methodist Church. In 1945, property was purchased on the corner of Florida Street and Spring Hill Avenue for a new church building. The first service was held in the new church on March 2, 1952. Later, an educational building was added. The name of the church was changed once again in 1968 when the Methodist Church merged with Evangelical United Brethren. The Spring Hill Avenue United Methodist Church is one of Mobile's most beautiful sanctuaries and is the only example of English Gothic architecture in the city.
