Sweat Memorial Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist Church in Waycross who is inspired by Jesus’ love and empowered by His Spirit to bring the good news about Him to our neighbors and our world.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
John 13:34-35
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Our church family at Sweat Memorial Baptist Church would like to share that Dr. Bill Young, lovingly known as “Brother Bill,” has resigned as our pastor after six years of faithful service. Following a stroke on October 12th, Brother Bill has prayerfully discerned that it is time to step away from full-time ministry. He is doing well and looks forward to continuing to serve the churches and pastors of South Georgia in various ways. With 58 years of full-time ministry and 60 years of preaching, his faithfulness and dedication to God’s work have been an incredible blessing to our congregation and community. Though we are saddened to see this season end, we rejoice that he will remain a member of Sweat Memorial and continue to be part of our church family. We are deeply thankful for his leadership, his love for people, and his lifelong commitment to sharing the Gospel.
