October 2025 at Sophia

For the month of October, every service will be focused on the power and presentation of the gospel of Christ. As we celebrate Homecoming on Sunday, October 5, we will set the stage for a month-long study of Mark 5 by looking at the close of Mark 4. Sundays will focus on the changing power, the cleansing power, and the compassionate presence of our Lord. Wednesdays will be focused on how we make the gospel message personal to our audience by incorporating our own testimonies into our witnessing. On October 20, Sophia will be hosting the annual RBA meeting. Check out those details below. Our desire is to have a good attendance from our church as Randolph Baptist Association member churches come together for food, fellowship, and worship right here at Sophia Baptist.

His slave,

Jonathan Burris
Pastor-Teacher
