A Guide to Southern Baptist Churches in the U.S

Stephanie Espiritu
Before my family and I moved to Nebraska we were members of a Southern Baptist Church in Norfolk, Virginia. It was very hard when we had to leave and we knew that we had to find a church in our new city. But doing so was a challenge considering we live in a smaller town.

When talking to other families they also admitted having a hard time trying to locate one. So I decided to make a list of Southern Baptist Churches letters A through L throughout the United States.
