Grow at Sherwood | Sherwood Baptist Church

We desire to partner with families and individuals to help each person grow into a deeper relationship with Christ. We invite you to join a Connect Group and mid-week Bible study this spring. We have activities and classes for preschoolers, children, youth, college students and adults. Connect Groups and weekly classes are provided so every member of the family can invest in spiritual growth and experience community life in a small group setting.

For questions about any of the following activities, please call the church office at (229) 883-1910.

of the best ways to do it.

At Sherwood, the statement “Prayer leads us to love God, grow together, serve others and change the world” is something we live out.
