Welcome to the DC Baptist Convention, where churches and believers unite to serve Christ and impact our communities for His glory. Here you’ll find resources, events, and opportunities to grow in faith, strengthen ministries, and connect with others in service. We invite you to explore, be encouraged, and join us as we live out the Gospel together.
DCBC 149th Annual Gathering of Churches
Join the DC Baptist Convention for the 149th Annual Gathering of Churches on Saturday, October 17, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, 901 3rd Street NW, Washington, DC. This year’s theme, “Congregational Care: Exploring the Ministry of Caring for People in a Worship Community,” is rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:11 and our shared calling to encourage, serve, and strengthen one another. Pastors, ministry leaders, congregants, youth, and young adults are invited to experience a meaningful day of learning, fellowship, worship, and practical resources for cultivating caring church communities. Early Bird registration ends August 30, so register now to receive the discounted rate. Please note that the Business Session will be held separately via Zoom on Saturday, November 14, at 10 a.m. Additional information will be shared as the date approaches, so stay tuned.
DCBC Seeks Interest in Trustee Training
The DC Baptist Convention is exploring the possibility of offering a Trustee Training session in late August or early September. To help determine whether to move forward with planning, individuals who may be interested in attending are encouraged to complete a brief interest survey. Please note that completing the survey does not register you for a training session. Additional information will be shared if the training is scheduled.
