ABOUT
At Mt. Carmel, our mission is simple: to make much of Jesus.
We are a Christ-centered church family in Demorest, Georgia, made up of ordinary people who have found forgiveness and hope in the gospel—and we want as many people as possible to experience the same.
What does that mean for you?
You’re always welcome here. Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for a place to grow, there’s a seat for you at Mt. Carmel.
A Little History
Mt. Carmel Baptist Church began in 1890 with 18 charter members and Pastor Joseph Loggins. The church met in homes until a building was completed in 1893. We’ve been worshiping, serving, and proclaiming the gospel in Habersham County ever since.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to take the gospel to people and bring them into God’s family, disciple them unto Christlikeness, help them identify their spiritual gifts, and equip them for their ministry in the church and Christ’s mission in the world.
What We Believe
At Mt. Carmel, we believe the Bible is God’s Word, fully true and completely sufficient. Our core beliefs are best summarized in the Baptist Faith and Message (2000), which we wholeheartedly affirm as a faithful expression of biblical doctrine.
