The church supports local and foreign missions and also holds a quarterly ministry at nearby motels. “We share Jesus with people who are staying at the motels,” said Sasser. “They are loved on and fed.” The church family is keenly interested in the future of those in their community and those who may just be passing through. Their plan is to love, feed, befriend and share Christ with the hope of building a relationship. “We are unapologetic,” said Sasser. “We’re going to throw you a rope. If you pull that rope, we’re coming.” Callahan Road Baptist is located at 1317 Callahan Road. Sunday worship is at 11 a.m. Info: 938-3410. Reach Cindy Taylor at brentcindyt@ gmail.com
