Putnam Baptist Church at 1146 County Home Road, Shelby, North Carolina.

Joey and I began visiting churches in Cleveland County after he retired from full-time minister of music. We had kept up with Putnam and her activity over the past 25 years. We began visiting and joined the fellowship there a year later.

We are an evangelical Baptist Church. The teaching, preaching, and administrative decisions are biblical, as all, but not all, should be. Our staff is devoted to teaching the Word of God and discipling others.

We are a large church for our area, around 600+ in attendance. Therefore, a goal of ours is to get individuals into connection groups for discipleship and fellowship. Early on we were invited to join several connection groups and quickly found one that "fit" us. Not only do we belong to one group but, we also lead two other groups.

If you come to Putnam and have not found your place of connection, look Joey and me up. You might like being a part of our study/fellowship groups.

PS. If you look us up, at this Shelby address you will not find the building you see with our name and address. The photo is of Putnam Baptist located in Putnam, CT.
