Third Creek Baptist Church

About this church

Third Creek Baptist Church in Stony Point, North Carolina, holds its worship service on Sundays at 10 a.m. at 285 Third Creek Road. Worshippers can attend in person, join by conference call, or follow along on Facebook Live and YouTube. The church describes itself as a Missionary Baptist congregation and, according to its history page, appears to be the oldest Black church in the eastern part of Alexander County. It began on granted land in the 1860s as Gum Springs Baptist and took the Third Creek name when a new church was built on the present site in 1914.

Ministries listed on the site include a deacon ministry, a board of trustees, a missions ministry, a music ministry with several choirs, a youth ministry, and a drama ministry. The youth group meets before the first and third Sundays of each month for Bible study and leadership training. The missions ministry meets quarterly and has partnered with local agencies on meals, Habitat for Humanity, cards for residents of care facilities, and support for school and community programs, while also giving to state and foreign missions through the regional Baptist association and state convention. A Dinner-at-the-Creek event is listed on the home page. Confirm details with the church office.
