We could not verify a 'Rehoboth Baptist Church' operating at 6315 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs 30328. That address is actually the home of Solidarity Sandy Springs, a neighborhood food pantry, not a Baptist church. The Rehoboth Baptist Church that runs a food pantry in metro Atlanta is located at 2997 Lawrenceville Hwy, Tucker (1st & 3rd Wednesdays, 1-3pm), not in Sandy Springs, so this record appears to mix up the wrong name and the wrong address.
