The Church at Pike Road to launch Feb. 22

Another new church in the Pike Road area is The Church at Pike Road, which started in July 2014 as a church plant, hosting its first monthly worship service in September of the same year. The church will officially launch Feb. 22 and currently meets at The Fairfield Inn & Suites on Eastchase Parkway. Because the church also is just getting started like Pike Road Cowboy Church (see story this page), Steve Walters, pastor of The Church at Pike Road, said the two churches have been hugely important to one another.

“We are obviously praying for this important new neighbor church,” Walters said of the cowboy church. “We have had the opportunity to attend worship with them in an attempt to encourage them. However, we have been encouraged by them much more through their warm and welcoming spirit and prayers.” 

The Church at Pike Road has about 35 regular participants and the church’s mission is “To love God and worship Him as we reach and disciple people for Jesus Christ.”

“We understand that most agree with the mission we are carrying out and most would likely agree that in some way they are living out this great purpose, but each church looks different. That speaks volumes about the amazing diversity, methodologies and character of God’s Church and His desire to call people of every tribe, tongue and nation to Himself,” Walters said. “In a nutshell we believe that mission drives our personality.”
