History of Rocky Mount Baptist Church

The history of Rocky Mount is one of vision and love. A vision of what God can and will do in and through a people who seek Him for direction and purpose. A vision that must continually be cleansed of selfishness and self-ceteredness. A vision that must take us back to God and His word or else we veer off course. Of a love that takes precedent over personal desires and feelings. Of a love for God that places His word, His way above our own pursuits. Of a love that seeks to provide a church fellowship that is dedicated to raising up our children to be Godly men and women. Of a love that will reach out to those in spiritual and physical need. Of a love that won't quit until Jesus comes!
