McIntosh Baptist Church, once a thriving fellowship northeast of Griffin, had dwindled to a handful of members and faced an uncertain future. However, with the help of the Flint River Baptist Association, local congregations, and the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, the 136-year-old church has relaunched as a new work.
The replant effort began when former pastor Kevin Murdock approached Frank Nuckolls, associational missionary for the Flint River Baptist Association, to discuss the congregation's needs.
Through our discussions, the idea of a church replant emerged, Nuckolls said. His role was to guide Kevin and the church to discern the future of the church.
