Sherwood Baptist Church

About this church

Sherwood Baptist Church begins Sundays with an 8:15 a.m. Connect Group for senior adults, worship at 9:30, and Connect Groups for every age at 11:00 in Albany. This order lets households worship together before separating into age- and life-stage groups. The church’s app and sermon resources provide current information and a preview for people planning their first visit.

Sherwood began in 1955 as the First Baptist Church Mission in northwest Albany. Its community role became especially visible during the 1994 flood, when the church sheltered 250 evacuees and served as a hub for 5,400 volunteers arriving from twenty-one states. That history gives practical context to its continued emphasis on service, groups, family ministry, music, and welcoming guests. A newcomer can arrive before 9:30 for worship and remain for the 11:00 Connect Group hour; senior adults can begin at 8:15 instead. Families should allow time after worship to identify the right group rather than waiting until classes begin.
