The Greater First Baptist Church

About this church

The Greater First Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., gathers in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Northwest Washington at 2701 13th Street NW. Sunday School begins at 8:45 a.m. with classes from nursery through adult, and the main Sunday morning worship service follows at 10:00 a.m. with preaching, choir music and communion. Midweek, Bible study and a prayer meeting are held on Wednesday evenings, and the youth group has weekly programs. The church states its mission as loving God, loving others and magnifying the name of Jesus Christ, and worship can also be followed through a live stream.

Parking is the main practical detail for visitors. For parking, the church directs guests to the lot at Carlos Rosario International Public Charter School on Harvard Street NW, with a church shuttle running to and from the building every Sunday. The ministries page lists more than two dozen groups, among them deacons and deaconesses, a nursery, music and creative arts, sacred dance, audio and video, men's and women's ministries, a missionary ministry, intercessory prayer, outreach, and a youth and young adult ministry. The office is open weekdays; call 202-462-6127 or check the website for current schedules.
