My favorite church in Columbus GA. Pastor Flakes is an amazing community asset and Christian educator. Fourth is open to hosting community events. Love doing community events at Fourth Street. Excellent Hospitality Ministry with quality food.

This is my Grandmother's home church. The sanctuary has been closed through out the Pandemic. She had been a member there for 95 of her 97 years. The Pastor opened the sanctuary for her funeral. God is good.

At Fourth Street Missionary Baptist Church, we’ve seen God move in powerful ways—restoring families, strengthening faith, and bringing hope to the weary. Our church is more than a place of worship; it’s a family where love, support, and spiritual growth thrive. Hear the stories of lives changed by the grace of God and the power of community.
