A Milestone for Franklinton Baptist Church — Be There October 28!
We’re thrilled to share that Franklinton Baptist Church has been recommended for affiliation with the Raleigh Baptist Association (RBA)—a step toward richer ministry partnerships and greater missional impact. After months of prayerful preparation and engaging dialogue with the RBA Church Relations and Credentials Committee, we’ve been enthusiastically welcomed into their fellowship. Now, we look forward to formal recognition at the RBA Annual Meeting on October 28, 2025, hosted by The Fountain Church, 9621 Six Forks Road, Raleigh. Dinner: 5:30 p.m. Meeting: 6:30 p.m.
We need a strong presence from our church family. This is more than a meeting—it’s a celebration of unity, purpose, and God’s guidance. Let’s show up with joy and gratitude to mark the beginning of this exciting new chapter.
