We have a distinguished history. We began in a log cabin in 1864, just a few faithful families. The church's Declaration of Faith and Covenant was adopted in 1894 and Germantown Baptist Church was officially a church.

The old cabin was covered with white stuco, and a portico added in the 1930s. Electric lights were added in 1939. Baptisms were held at Seneca Creek. There were times there were as many folks outside as were in. We were bursting at the seams. |

This time the growth is not in size and building-- this time it is changing with the times and needs of our members, our community and our world.

We recognize that many today have never entered a church
building; have never believed in God; have never
even felt the need for God - BUT - TODAY... Today,
our world seems to be spinning out of control.
"Family Values" are needed. Our
families are not learning there is "Absolute
Truth". They are not learning to love
and respect each other. They feel they are
expendable and there is no hope for tomorrow.
Today, more than ever, there is a genuine search
for the "Meaning of Life".
HE REALLY DOES! Come hear and see Love and Caring in action, and God's Meaning for our Lives. Life CAN be better. We welcome you to come visit us and learn how! |
