A welcoming table on Old Covington Road
First Shady Grove Baptist Church is a neighborhood congregation in Conyers, Georgia, gathered around Scripture, song, and one another. Whether you've been in church your whole life or haven't walked into one in years, there is a seat here with your name on it.
Plan your visitWhat you'll find here
No performance required. Just honest faith, shared out loud.
Come as you are
Suits and sneakers sit in the same row. We care far more that you walked through the door than what you wore doing it.
The Bible, plainly taught
Preaching that opens the text, explains what it says, and asks what it means for a Tuesday in Rockdale County.
Singing that lifts the roof
Hymns we grew up on and songs we're still learning, led by voices from our own congregation.
Room for children
Little ones are welcome in worship, wiggles and all, and there is care available for families who'd like it.
A church that shows up
Meals after a hard week, rides to appointments, prayer at a hospital bedside. Membership here looks like being known.
Rooted in this community
Conyers is our home, not our mission field from a distance. We serve the neighbors we see at the grocery store.
A congregation with deep roots
First Shady Grove Baptist Church has kept the same simple habit for generations: gather, open the Word, sing, pray, and go back out into Conyers to love our neighbors. We are a Baptist church, which for us means Scripture holds the final word, every member has a voice, and no one comes to God through anyone but Jesus. What you'll notice first is not our history but our people — folks who will learn your name and mean it.
Ways to belong
Sunday is the front door. These are the rooms beyond it.
Worship gatherings
Our whole church family together for singing, prayer, giving, and preaching from the Bible. Call or email us for this week's schedule.
Bible study
Smaller groups working slowly through a book of Scripture, with real questions welcome and no one expected to have the answers.
Children and youth
Age-appropriate teaching and plenty of encouragement, so young people grow up knowing the Bible and knowing they're loved.
Prayer and care
Bring us your hospital stays, your job losses, your good news. Our people pray specifically and follow up faithfully.
Music ministry
Choir and congregational singing led from the heart. If you sing or play, there's a place for you to serve.
Community outreach
Practical help for Conyers families and seasonal gatherings that anyone in the neighborhood is invited to join.
