In the spring of 1959, an adult Sunday School teacher at the Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church, felt the Lord leading him to establish a Baptist ministry in the Upper Marlboro area. Working through the Department of Missions and Evangelism of the DC Baptist Convention, he held the first service in the Masonic Lodge on May 24, 1959. The chapel was constituted as the First Baptist Church of Upper Marlboro on March 17, 1963.
Our Core Mission. For 55 years, the First Baptist Church of Upper Marlboro has shared the good news of Jesus Christ in the Upper Marlboro community and neighboring counties. A lot has happened in that time for which we thank God. In November 2005, we moved to our new location on Rt. 301 south and continue to shine the light of the gospel in this community and around the world. We are “A Community lifting up Christ by Gathering, Growing and Going.”
Gathering weekly in Corporate Worship
Growing through participation in DiscipleLIFE (Sunday School) & LifeGroups (small groups)
Going by serving in the ministries of the church

What to expect
Many visiting our church say one thing over and over – they love the feel of a loving family when they spend time with us. We are a church family that loves meeting new people and helping them find a place in our community! At FBC Upper Marlboro, each person means so much to us no matter what their age, ethnicity, nationality, background or story. We reflect the tapestry of God’s image bearers, and it’s exciting to see all of us come together under one name, Jesus Christ.
