A Brief History of Azalea Baptist Church

In January, 1958 -- over sixty-two years ago -- Azalea was officially constituted as a church. Before that, a small group began in June, 1955 as a mission of the then Hobson Memorial Baptist Church. Originally, services were held in the cafeteria of Azalea Elementary School, with Rev. Horace Sams of Hobson Memorial ministering. The first unit of the church building was completed in 1957, leading to the final step from mission to an actual church with Rev. Marshall Flournoy as Azalea’s first full time pastor. The church continued to grow, and the present sanctuary was dedicated in February, 1968.

Through the years, Azalea has continued to reach out, work with the community and share the good news of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that he has come in the flesh. We love God and we love people. To find out more, or with any questions please contact us!
