About Presence Church
A church for everyone, everywhere.
Presence Church is a growing, people-centered church in Rocky Mount, North Carolina — built on one conviction: when people encounter the presence of God, they are never the same.
Our story
Planted in Rocky Mount.
Sent to the world.
Presence Church exists for one reason: so that everyone, everywhere is radically changed by Jesus. Everyone — no matter your story, your doubts, or your past. Everywhere — starting on Peachtree Street and reaching far beyond it.
We are not interested in being a church that simply fills a room. We want to be a church that fills a city with the hope of Jesus — one changed life, one family, one Sunday at a time.
Lead Pastors
Demonte & Zakiya Daniels
Demonte and Zakiya lead Presence Church with a simple conviction: church should be the warmest, most honest, most life-giving place in a person's week. Their heart is for Rocky Mount — for the family down the street, the skeptic with questions, and the believer who wants to go deeper.
Come meet them on a Sunday. They would love to shake your hand at Presence Connect.

What we believe
Our convictions
The Bible is God's Word
It is our authority, our foundation, and the lens we read life through.
Jesus changes everything
Salvation is found in Him alone — and no one is beyond the reach of that grace.
His presence is our priority
We are called Presence for a reason. We gather around Him first, everything else second.
People are the mission
Everyone, everywhere. The church does not exist for itself — we are sent.
Generosity is our privilege
We give our time, abilities, resources, and lives because God gave first.
