Tattnall Square Baptist Church

Tattnall Square Baptist Church was organized in 1891 as a mission of First Baptist Church with sixty-eight charter members. After initially meeting in the chapel of Mercer University for eight years, the church was constructed on land which had been deeded by Mercer University for that purpose. The church remained there until 1975. Then Tattnall Square Baptist Church relocated temporarily to a building on Crestline Drive and met there until 1977, when its new facility was completed on Zebulon Road. In 1988, the church dedicated its new Waters Educational Building, named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. James Waters.

From the congregation of Tattnall Square Baptist Church, many have gone forth to serve in foreign and local service as ministers, missionaries, and teachers. The church has strongly supported these men and women in this work, but desired also to focus on the home area by providing important Biblical training.

As a result of this goal, Tattnall Square Academy was opened as a mission of Tattnall Square Baptist Church in September, 1969. A Board of Directors was selected from the membership of Tattnall Square Baptist Church. A total of 98 students initially enrolled in kindergarten through sixth grades. Grades 7, 8, and 9 were added in 1970. By 1973, the Academy was complete through twelfth grade, and its first graduation excercises were held on June 3, 1974, with 39 graduates.

Tattnall Square Academy represents a long held vision of Tattnall Square Baptist Church to serve the community by providing a source of quality education in a Christian environment. The Academy was born as a result of prayerful search for meaningul opportunities to accomplish this goal.

If you do not have a church home in this area, you are welcome to join the fellowship at Tattnall Square Baptist Church by professing faith in Jesus Christ, by transferring your membership from another Baptist church, or by your statement of faith and prior baptism.
