About this church
Shady Grove Baptist Church holds Sunday School at 9:45 a.m.; the worship service begins at 11 at 1654 Bells Ferry Road in Marietta. Its visitor page makes the dress expectation unusually plain: wear clothes. Worship is also available through Facebook, and an invitation after each service provides a path for profession of faith, baptism by immersion, or transfer of Baptist membership. The congregation was founded by small farm families in 1885 and describes its present purpose as loving like Jesus and carrying the gospel into its community and the world.
That community emphasis is most visible in the Marietta Homeless Ministry. Volunteers and partner churches provide meals, clothing, showers, personal care, and connections throughout the week. Published access hours span Monday through Sunday, with food served twice on many days; Friday late morning is grocery distribution, and paperwork help for birth certificates, Social Security cards, identification, and related needs is available Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Saturday brings a 9 a.m. breakfast service and 3 p.m. dinner with partner organizations. The church's beliefs affirm biblical authority, the Trinity, Christ's atoning death and resurrection, salvation, prayer, and Christian maturity. A first-time worshiper can attend the class hour before the single service, while someone seeking or offering practical help should consult the homeless-ministry schedule because each service has its own time and purpose.
