Meet our Pastor:

Austin Williams is from the upstate of South Carolina and has recently moved to Joanna First Baptist Church. He and his family enjoy serving the people of Joanna and loving on this community. He is a graduate of Fruitland Baptist Bible College and Andersonville Theological Seminary, where he is now working towards earning his Masters of Pastoral Leadership. His wife Tiffany serves in our worship ministry. His daughter Paisley loves to sing, climb on the stage, and find candy all throughout the church. He would love to meet you in the days to come, and we hope you will join us at Joanna FBC soon!

  • We strive to exalt Christ and focus on the Great Commision. We offer small groups and worship opportunities for all ages. Our JKIDZ children’s ministry meets on Sunday mornings and Wednesday Nights, and we strive to teach and train young children the Word of God on their level. Our other small groups challenge all ages of believers.
