About Damascus Baptist Church
Founded in 1820, Damascus Baptist Church has a rich heritage of faithfulness and service in the Appling, Georgia community. In 2025, we joyfully celebrated 205 years of God’s goodness and provision.
In recent years, God has brought vibrant growth to our congregation—welcoming over 140 new members and celebrating 40 professions of faith. What was once an older congregation has now become a thriving, multi-generational church filled with families, children, youth, and seniors worshiping together.
We are financially strong, mission-minded, and committed to reaching our community with the love of Christ. Our prayer is that God will lead a pastor to Damascus who will help us continue to grow deeper in faith, stronger in unity, and bolder in sharing the Gospel through preaching, prayer, discipleship, and service.
