Assessment

Note: This may be Stafford Baptist Church rather than 'South Stafford Baptist.' Led by Kelton Zacharias since January 2020. SBCV affiliation provides conservative SBC accountability. Located on Jefferson Davis Highway. Verify if this is the correct church match and assess preaching, men's ministry, and theological depth.
