Gospel Light Baptist Church, Walkertown, NC

Gospel Light Baptist Church is located just outside Winston-Salem, North Carolina in the small town of Walkertown. Brother Bobby, as he is known affectionately to nearly everyone in the area, started a little independent Baptist church out among the corn fields in this rural farming area and today averages just under 3,000 on Sunday mornings with a bus ministry that reaches into every surrounding community for miles. It is said that everything rises or falls on leadership and so it is no surprise that all of the folks of Gospel Light Baptist Church are such willing workers who demonstrate incredible servants' hearts. They simply reflect their leadership. Spending time around the folks at Gospel Light is a special treat in itself. Being a part of the National SWORD Conference while you’re there is just icing on a really great cake!
