Service Times & Weekly Gathering
Sunday School and Small Groups
Worship Service and Children's Ministry
Sundays at 9:45 and Wednesdays at 6:15-7:15
11:00 AM
We believe spiritual growth happens best in community. That's why we offer small groups for children, youth, and adults on both Sundays and Wednesdays, providing opportunities to dive deeper into Scripture, build meaningful relationships, and grow together in faith.
On Wednesday evenings, we begin by sharing a potluck dinner together at 6:15 PM before breaking into age-based small groups. Whether you're coming on your own or bringing the whole family, there's a place for everyone.
Join us for our traditional Sunday morning service. We lift our voices in hymns and listen to biblically-centered preaching that inspires us to live out our faith in the Sharpsburg community. We offer a Children's Church for children birth through fifth grade.
Our Legacy & Heart for the Community
For over 120 years, Sharpsburg Baptist Church has faithfully served our community, sharing the hope of Jesus Christ and standing on the truth of God's Word. We are grateful for the generations of faithful believers whose prayers, sacrifice, and commitment have built the foundation we stand on today. As we honor that rich legacy, we remain committed to carrying it forward by faithfully serving both our church and our community.
Through ministries and outreach opportunities such as free dental clinics, local missions, our annual community yard sale, classic car show, and other events throughout the year, we seek to be the hands and feet of Christ. We believe our legacy is not only found in our history, but in the lives we continue to impact as we love our neighbors and share the Gospel with future generations.
