welcome

Rev. Dr. Joel D. Churchwell

We are honored that you took the time to visit our website.  One of the focuses of our church’s mission is to lead people to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ by making disciples through education and teaching, preaching, serving, and evangelizing, using God’s infallible and inerrant Holy Word as the foundational tool for all our ministries. God’s Word teaches that the church is the body of Christ, and He is the Head of the body. Therefore, we believe that our ministries are an extension of His will.  Sandy Run Missionary Baptist Church has served the Jacksonville community for over 150 years, and our footprint can be seen throughout our growing, diverse city. We pray that this search will lead you to discover the love of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross.  So, if you are ever in the beautiful and friendly city of Jacksonville, North Carolina, we would be honored to have you as our guest and to have you worship with us. Striving to honor and glorify our Triune God and the power of His might.
