Our Story

Envisioned in 1964, Baptist Cooperatives saw the opportunity to minister to the people who live in the St. Charles development. From that first Sunday at Dr. Samuel A. Mudd Elementary School in 1968, our church has stood to be the light of Jesus Christ in our surrounding community. As our church has grown spiritually and numerically over the decades; our name has grown from St. Charles Baptist Fellowship in the formative days, to a proposed St. Charles Baptist Chapel, to our eventual constituted name of the First Baptist Church of St. Charles on May 25, 1969.

First Baptist Church of St. Charles is known as The Church @ St. Charles to our community. Cooperative with the Southern Baptist Convention, our passion is sharing God's love with our neighbors and gathering together to encourage each other in love. The Church @ St. Charles has developed from a passion to be THE church to reach our community with the Good News of the Gospel, to be the location of refuge in times of brokenness and trial and to be a place for families to gather at all times. While reaching our community the opportunity arose for a Spanish speaking fellowship and so by God's provision He sent us a pastor and Iglesia Bautista De Waldorf was born. They continue to meet in our Fellowship Hall for worship on Sundays at 10:30am.

The Church @ St. Charles is a church founded on Jesus Christ and Him crucified for our redemption; expressing His love, building relationships, and living in the everlasting hope Christ secured for all people everywhere. We strive to continue this legacy that has been established by those who have come before us. God blessed us at the beginning of 2020 as we were able to complete our latest building project with new rooms for our children, a conference room, and offices for our staff. We believe that God builds His church as Matthew 16:18 says and we feel blessed beyond measure that He has chosen us to be the light to the St. Charles community, to the state of Maryland, and to the ends of the earth.

Join us every Sunday as we gather to worship together at 10:30am.
