Our Story

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.

From that time to this, First Baptist Church of Green Valley has continued to spread the love of Jesus to our community.
