About Us
The Sandhills Baptist Association was formed in 1949 from the Sandy Creek Association. Our churches are primarily in Moore County but some are also located in neighboring Harnett, Hoke, and Lee Counties. These congregations serve the residents of small cities, villages, and open countryside. They are multi-ethnic and multi-generational. They support missions next door and to the farthest points of our globe. They are always ready to welcome you.
To promote the gospel of Jesus Christ by working cooperatively with member churches to promote Christian unity, fellowship, spiritual formation and Christian mission in affiliation with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, the Southern Baptist Convention and other followers of Christ of like faith and order.
To see the extension of God's redemptive purpose through evangelism, education, and Christian service beyond the local church.
As Baptists, we seek to present the Gospel of Christ in a way that is consistent with biblical faith and our Baptist heritage in a way that respects the person while still challenging them to become who God calls them to be.
