Eastmont Baptist Church was located at 7201 Rome Avenue in Brown Springs. It was organized as a mission of Ruhama Baptist Church on February 2, 1952 and chargered as a chruch on October 9, 1955.
Construction of its building began in 1955. An educational annex was added in 1958 and a family life center in 1974. A fire on January 1, 1974 severly damaged the auditorium and education building requiring a near total reconstruction.
The congregation declined in the 1980s as it was faced with a changing neighborhood and internal discord. It was last listed in the minutes of the Birmingham Baptist Association in 1990. After the congregation disbanded, the building became the home of Faith Overcoming Cathedral of Prayer.
