More Than a Century in the Rawls Community
In the historic Rawls community, Rawls School House stood on Rawls family land decades before the church was formally organized in 1913. Generations have since gathered here for worship, fellowship, and service.
Today, that church family reaches across southern Wake and northern Harnett, with people coming from Fuquay-Varina, Angier, Lillington, Chalybeate Springs, Duncan, and nearby communities.
For families settling in this part of North Carolina, a local church offers a place to build lasting relationships. At Rawls, Sunday worship, Bible study, and service alongside neighbors continue that connection—a community with a long history and room for new faces.
