About Goshen Baptist Church

Our Story

Founded in 1834, Goshen Baptist Church has been a cornerstone of faith for generations here in the hills of North Georgia. What began as a small gathering of believers has grown into a loving church family dedicated to worship, fellowship, and service.

We are a member of the Hightower Baptist Association, working alongside sister churches to share the Gospel and support our community. Every lesson and sermon is taught from the King James Version of the Bible, keeping Christ and Scripture at the heart of all we do.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” — Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)

Our Mission

To glorify God by sharing His Word, loving others, and serving our community.
We believe that church is more than a building — it’s a family where everyone is welcome and where hearts are changed by the power of Jesus Christ.

Meet Our Pastor

Pastor Tyler & Melonie Goode

Pastor Tyler leads Goshen Baptist Church with a deep love for God’s Word and a heart for people. His messages are rooted in Scripture and centered on helping others grow closer to Christ.

Together with his wife, Melanie, they serve faithfully: encouraging our youth, supporting families, and leading by example in everyday ministry.

“At Goshen, we believe in growing together in Christ — one family, one faith, one mission.”

  • The Bible: We believe the King James Version of the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.

  • Salvation: We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

  • Baptism: We practice believer’s baptism by immersion as a public testimony of faith.

  • Worship: We gather to praise God through song, prayer, preaching, and fellowship.

  • Community: We are called to love and serve one another, reflecting Christ in all we do.

What we believe:

A Joyful Church Family in the Heart of North Georgia

We’re more than a congregation — we’re a family.

Looking Ahead

Our church is growing — both in spirit and in number!
Plans are underway for a new sanctuary in 2026, a reflection of God’s continued blessings and our commitment to sharing His love with future generations.
