Welcome to OBC
Welcome to Odenton Baptist Church
I will worship toward thy holy temple,and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Psalm 138:2
About Us
Our church is a Fundamental, Independent, Baptist Church. We are Fundamental in that we hold to the historic “fundamentals” of the faith which contrast with liberalism, modernism, and the Charismatic movement. We are Independent as we do not belong to any group, fellowship, affiliation, association, or convention. We are Baptist because we believe the Bible and hold to the historically distinct doctrines by which Baptists have been known.
Our manner of worship is traditional; our Bible (the King James Bible) is the pure word of God, and our gospel (the Lord’s gospel) is older than creation. We seek to please God rather than man and do not stray from these standards of worship, Bible, and gospel.
Missionary of the Week
Norton Family
Bill and Lynne Norton to Mexico are sent by Capital City Baptist Church in Austin, Texas. Their pastor was a missionary to Mexico, and their church is one of the most mission minded churches in the country. They have recently seen a number of people saved and baptized in Mexico, and are currently on a short furlough. Pray for the Norton family and Mexico this week.
