FROM THE PASTOR: YOU ARE WELCOME AT CHEROKEE HILLS BAPTIST CHURCH

When you come and worship with us, we will receive you as a welcomed guest.  You will feel the presence of the Lord the moment you walk in the door and as you leave, you will feel like the Psalmist who said, "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord."  The great faith this church was built upon will strengthen your walk with Christ when you come and worship at Cherokee Hills Baptist Church. 

Cherokee Hills Baptist Church is a Bible believing, Bible proclaiming fellowship that is seeking to carry out the Great Commission of our Lord at home and around the world.  I invite you to become a vital part of this exciting fellowship, and join us in the tremendous task of reaching our community and world for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
