church history





The Sardis Missionary Baptist Church was founded in 1929 under the inspired leadership of the late Rev. Edmund Alford, in what was formerly known as the now historical old Bradshaw School. As time progressed, and amiss much confusion and conflict between the Freewill Baptist and the Missionary Baptist, the Sardis Missionary Baptist Church emerged. Located across from its present location in a small wooden structure, Sardis continued to fulfill her purpose as both a church and a Negro training school during the 30's and 40's.


God in his omniscience manner directed many great men of God her way. Among those was the first pastor of Sardis Rev. Tombs. Under his leadership Sardis began to prosper, and through much prayer, faith, and diligence of the saints, a wooden structure was built. Later for unknown and undetermined reasons, the church burned to the ground.


This was an attempt of Satan which lead to the rebuilding of an even greater temple of worship with materials donated by the old Friendship Baptist Church which was located between Headland and Columbia Al. Later under the leadership of the second pastor, Rev. I.S. Blount of Jacobs, Florida the wooden structure was converted to the a block structure. The new church building was completed and dedicated on June 24, 2012.
