Better late than never.

Fuller Memorial Baptist Church Pastor Fred Hardin preached his final message on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025, closing a chapter marked by decades of faithful service.

His favorite hymn, “We’ll Work Till Jesus Comes,” with text by Elizabeth Mills and music by William Miller, reflected the way he lived out his calling each day.

During his time at Fuller Memorial, Pastor Hardin faithfully visited members in nursing homes, hospitals and their homes.

He and his wife, Sarah, helped relaunch Vacation Bible School, welcoming many children into the church—several of whom became long-standing members.

He also led door-to-door outreach efforts throughout the Southside of the city and along Askin Street, where the church is located, with multiple individuals accepting Christ at their doorsteps as a result.

With an active membership of fewer than 30, Hardin often filled numerous roles beyond the pulpit, including building repairs, lawn care, bus driver and janitorial duties.

He introduced technology into the church while preserving its traditional foundation.

Pastor Hardin served 26 years in the U.S. Coast Guard and 36 years in ministry, helping start two churches in North Carolina.

His legacy at Fuller Memorial Baptist Church is one of dedication, humility and unwavering commitment to the work he believed he was called to do.

We appreciate and miss you Pastor Hardin.
