ABOUT US
Welcome!
We are dedicated to serving God and our community by sharing and spreading the Gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible was God-inspired and that it is as relevant today as it was when it was written.
​
Recently, God has blessed us tremendously with a pastor whose love for God and people is evident in everything he says and does. Pastor Kevin Branham’s dynamic sermons hit home with their Biblical wisdom and truth.
On Wednesdays at noon, Pastor Branham inspires us by leading our Bible study. His knowledge and understanding of Scripture is phenomenal, and the class’ attendance has grown so rapidly. We thankfully benefit from his more than 40 years of preaching and loving others.
Our church is a multicultural, interracial, multigenerational, New Testament church.
We would be happy for you to share the love and hope of Jesus with us while we grow together in our faith. We hope that we can help you discover a new purpose for your life in Jesus.
On September 29, 1960, after much prayer, 50 members from Deep Run Baptist Church gathered with the hope of starting a new church. They were blessed when Rev. Edward G. Lambert became their first pastor on October 2, 1960.
For several months, the church met at Tuckahoe Middle School for Sunday School and worship services, while meeting in the pastor’s home for Sunday and Wednesday evening services. As the congregation grew, they moved to Ridge Elementary School for more space. Every Sunday, the pastor and congregation would load a piano onto the back of a pickup truck, drive it to the school for worship, and then return it after the service. They did this faithfully for years, so they could worship together.
Recognizing the need for a church in the Parham Road area, Parham Road Baptist Church was born. On September 13, 1964, the church broke ground for its own church building, and the first worship service in the new sanctuary was held on July 18, 1965.
Rev. William O. Dillard, Jr., became the much beloved second pastor on September 1, 1966, serving for 24 years. His wife, Joyce, served faithfully as Minister of Music for 22 years. Parham Road Baptist enjoyed the leadership of six pastors from 1990 through 2024—Rev. Michael C. Jones, Rev. Bob Carlton, Rev. James Denton, Rev. Tom Warrington, Rev. Don Matheny, and
Rev. Spencer M. Dillard.
In December, 2024, the church membership was overjoyed when Rev. Kevin Branham began serving as our current pastor. He is a man of his word and his love for God is evident in everything he says and does.
