The Church Downtown

In 1924 Silver Spring was a tiny little village made up mostly of apple orchards and dirt paths.  It was in this setting that 14 people met on October 22, 1924 to establish the Silver Spring Baptist Church.  Since that time the First Baptist Church of Silver Spring has had a presence in downtown helping people in the community to make their lives better through ministry and fellowship.  Our commitment to be a shining presence in today's urban environment is stronger than ever with a brand new building in that same location - the heart of Silver Spring. 

You can still join us every Sunday at 11am for the weekly Sunday Service.  And we hold Adult Bible Study and Sunday School for children through High School every Sunday at 10 am, and two more adult Bible Study groups Tuesday at 7pm on Google Hangout, and Wednesday at 1:30 at the church.  We are also affiliated with two other churches who offer Sunday Service in French/Haitian Creole and Spanish.  For information on the French/Haitian Creole Church please visit:  https://eglisebaptistedelafoi.org
