What We Do
FELLOWSHIP

FRIENDS
The more we gather together, the closer we draw to each other. We invite others into our lives, and we emerge as friends.
FAMILY
We consider our church congregation as a family! We share in each other's joys and sorrows as we continue to worship and serve our Savior.
Meet Our Pastor
JaMarcus R. Bunn
Rev. JaMarcus R. Bunn has the heart and is called to bridge the gaps between younger and more seasoned generations. While in middle school, he accepted Christ in his life, and ever since then, his journey with God has been one of tremendous growth and purpose.
In March 2019, he was licensed into the preaching ministry at the Bethany Community Church in Wake Forest, NC, under the spiritual care of Rev. Timothy Johnson Sr. After High School, he enrolled in UNC Greensboro, where he served as a Freshman Senator. After transferring, he graduated with a Bachelor of Theology from the Apex School of Theology in Durham, NC, in May of 2018. He then enrolled in Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, receiving his Master of Divinity in May 2021.
In preparation for ministry, he had the privilege of serving in a multicultural setting as an Intern, Director of Special Music, and Youth Minister at the Brier Creek Fellowship church in Raleigh, NC. He also served as an Associate Minister of Temple Memorial Baptist church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Thomas Banister. Through the affirmation of his church family, he was ordained into Christian ministry through the historic Rowan Baptist Association in the summer of 2021. In the late fall of 2022, he was elected as Senior Minister of the historic Greater St. John Baptist Church in Asheboro, NC.
In addition to serving as a Senior Minister, he currently serves as a Chaplain Resident at the Durham Veterans (VA) Medical Center in Durham, NC. He is the second-born son of Ivra Bunn and is a native of Durham, NC. One of the many scriptures he often quotes and often brings him great hope is Romans 8:28. "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."

An Abbreviated History of
Our Church
Greater St. John Missionary Baptist Church was established on February 8, 1886, with less than 25 people. A small room in a brush arbor on a small tract of land was transferred to the trustees. Although no one knew then that February would become Black History month, it is appropriate and fitting that we can now observe our church anniversary as we look at our church history.
