Church News
Check back from time to time as we post news of interest regarding various ministries of Ferndale Baptist. Information about our church is below.
- In August 2009, our church voted to hire Teamway Builders to be our general contractor/project manager. We are currently working on ministry design in order to assist an architect with our master planning and facility design. We have met with a prospective architect already and are reviewing his proposal.
- FBC has purchased new property in Hanahan, SC! We have 7.499 acres of beautiful land in the Tanner Plantation area on Foster Creek Road on which we look forward to building a new worship and educational facilities. Our location will be an ideal one in the midst of a new, emerging community that is growing rapidly! We are excited about our future relocation and look forward to see how God blesses this endeavor. Our new ministry name will be Foster Creek Baptist Church.
- We are in our fourth year of Kids 4 Truth! To learn more about this rapidly growing children's ministry click here!
