Reverend James W. Edmonds

James W. Edmonds, 68, walked into the loving arms of his Lord and Savior in Heaven on Tuesday, October 27, 2020.

James was born in Tampa, Florida on May 11, 1952, the son of Elizabeth Edmonds and the late William James Edmonds.

Following his military career, James served as the chaplain of Coastal Correctional Institute for several years and later became the much-loved pastor at Rock Hill Baptist Church in Dooly County. He also preached at several churches around Georgia where he was needed. Limestone Baptist was his most recent church home.
