About Us

We are located in Powder Springs, Georgia

We are affiliated with the National Baptist Convention USA Inc., The town of Powder Springs was incorporated as Springville in 1838 in the lands of two Cherokee Indian leaders. Gold had been discovered in Georgia ten years earlier, and the first European-American settlers came to find gold. The settlers found little gold in the mines at Lost Mountain and off Brownsville Road. It was at about this time that the Cherokee people were forced off their land and removed to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River on the Trail of Tears.

Springville was renamed as Powder Springs in 1859. The name was derived from the seven springs in the city limits. The water in these springs contains some 26 minerals that turns the surrounding sand black like gunpowder – hence the earlier name of Gunpowder Springs

Civil War history includes a skirmish at Lattermore's Mills on June 20, 1864, that was a part of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain and General Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. Many slaves escaped the plantations in this area to join Sherman's forces and gain freedom.

Statement of Faith
We believe Jesus Christ died on a cross, was buried, and then rose from the grave. He lives today and stands ready to give abundant and eternal life to all those who repent of sin and place their faith in Him.

The Baptist Faith & Message
The general theological perspective of the churches of the National Baptist Convention is represented in the Baptist Faith and Message (BF&M). The BF&M serves as a guide to understanding National Baptist Beliefs.
