Who we are
First Baptist Church of Green Valley is a dynamic church located in Monrovia, MD. Our beliefs are based on the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ. Our mission is very simple: to lead people to honor and glorify Jesus Christ. That means we’re not about a building or some complicated religious system, but about helping people from all backgrounds discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.
We invite you to come and check us out this weekend at our worship service at 11 AM or join us earlier for Sunday School at 10 AM. We know that going to a new church can be intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. You’ll discover a warm atmosphere, practical teaching from God's Word and lots of friendly people pursuing God together. And with childcare and classes for all ages, your family will love it too!
God made a promise in the Bible that if we seek after Him, we’ll find Him. You are a valued part of God’s creation and His deep desire is to be in a relationship with you. So come and join us as we pursue God together!

First Baptist Church of Green Valley History
On April 8, 1973, eight people met in a church bus parked outside of Green Valley Elementary School for the purpose of starting a church in fellowship with the churches in the American Baptist Association. Initial sponsorship of the church was assumed by Grace Baptist Church in Bowie, MD with Oak Grove Baptist Church of Benton, Arkansas assuming sponsorship in July of the same year.
The church building construction was completed in 1978 and the church was officially organized, independent of the sponsoring church, on February 6, 1983, under the leadership of Pastor H.L. Wilkinson.

Listen, my friend!
Listen, my friend! Your helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas. He hears it from the very moment that you are seized with helplessness, and He becomes actively engaged at once in hearing and answering the prayer of your helplessness.
