In the spring of 2006 in Lenox, Georgia, there came together a band of believers in Christ, who were brought by the suprising providence of God, to begin a new church. The forming of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church was not made in haste or as an emotional reaction; but rather after much prayer, careful thought, vigorous discussion, and intense Bible study - there was a clear unified conviction that God was calling us out to plant a fresh work for His glory in South Georgia.
On May 18, 2007 we constituted and covenanted together as a confessing Evangelical, Reformed, Baptist church. Twenty-one people, on this day, signed their names in affirmation to the official organization of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church. And after being together for one whole year, our mission statement was unmistakable and clear: our greatest aim is to glorify God in all things as we are continually being conformed to the pattern of His Word for a healthy church. Existing for God's glory alone and driven by God's Word alone, our prayer has been from the beginning and remains to this day, that we will grow as a church marked by biblical healthiness. We trust in God that this will be the enduring history of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church.
