Heavenly Light Baptist is a fellowship of believers that purpose to know God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to equip believers through discipleship. Showing God's love, we strive to reach a hungry world with Jesus Christ through obedience to the Great Commission. We are a community-based organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place. With the help of our tireless staff, we organize fundraisers, exciting community-building events, and in-depth training sessions for our volunteers.
Heavenly Light Baptist Church was formed and established on January 10, 1993. Services were held at homes of it's 13 members until a building was acquired. Our first building was an old schoolhouse on Honeysuckle Lane. We remained in this building until October 1998 at which time we moved into an old church building on Depot Street. On May 18, 2001, the Lord blessed us with a donation of land and building on 363 Blant Road in Mountain City. A lot of renovations were done to the building over the next few years. On February 16, 2003, Terry Steele was elected as pastor. We had our first service in our newly renovated building on April 16, 2003. In 2017, we built a covered pavilion to have bible camp, dinners, etc. In 2019, we purchased more land adjacent to our church. In April 2021 on the adjacent land purchased, we started building a new church. Construction took 15 months to complete. We had our first service in our new church building on August 14, 2022. We have grown over the years and the Lord has blessed us beyond measure.
