History
In
1915 someone felt the need of a Baptist church in the Marbury area. Under
the leadership of Rev. James M. Thomas, a former pastor of Nanjemoy
Baptist Church, and ten Baptist families in the community, Marbury Baptist
Church was founded.
In
the years between its inception and today, 21 pastors and hundreds of dear
individuals labored hard and long for their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
These dedicated Christians overcame many difficulties so that we have a
place to worship our God.
We
have been blessed to have had a part in passing along the gospel message
by assisting in the creation of building several other Baptist
churches, among them Lexington Park, First Baptist of LaPlata, Welcome and
White Plains. Along the way we have helped other churches from time to
time. Much has been done to help those in the community in need; churches
and people in Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, and West Virginia in
times of floods, tornados, hurricanes, Christmas in April, and local
agencies.
God
has been at the helm in guiding and directing the work of His Kingdom
through dedicated people. What we do today through the guidance of the
Holy
Spirit in our lives will leave a legacy for those coming behind us. We
pray their inheritance will be as rich as ours and that they will know
Jesus Christ as Savior.
