Summary: Spout Springs Church (SSC) is a small to medium sized church located in Cameron, NC, and is home to a large percentage of current and former military families due to its proximity to the Fort Bragg US Army base. Founded in April 2006, the church is staff-led and elder protected with the Lead Pastor being accountable to the elder board. We are also a part of the Southern Baptist denomination.
