Gunpowder Baptist Church

The worship service begins at 10:15am each Sunday. You can expect the service to last approximately 75 minutes.
We also invite you to our Sunday school hour for all ages starting at 9:15am.

You will fit in at GBC whether you are dressed up or prefer a more casual look. You will see a wide range of styles at our services.

No, we do not expect visitors and guests to give!  We take an offering during the service to meet the needs of the church as well as missions work in our city, state, country and around the world. As our guest, please do not feel obligated to give!

Our music spans a range of styles, from hymns to southern gospel and contemporary worship songs. The songs we sing are a mixture of older and newer songs that communicate the truths of the Bible and the greatness of our God.

We believe that the Bible is God’s truth. We seek to understand and apply God’s truth to our lives. Each week our pastors teach through the Bible verse by verse.

We believe the Bible is God’s message of hope and love for all people and the final authority for every area of our lives. We believe nothing is more relevant to people’s lives today than the Word of God. If you want to hear more, please check out the sermon archive.

During the worship service, visitors are never singled out or embarrassed.  However, you can expect a warm and friendly welcome from our church family.

We would love it if you would fill out a Connection Card so that we can serve and care for you effectively. We will never give away or sell your information, and we have no interest in pestering you.

Our children’s ministry offers several ways in which children can learn and be cared for during the service.

• We have several background-checked ladies who are on call to hold and care for infants less
  than one year old in our nursery
• Right before Pastor Jim begins to speak, children ages 2 through 6 are dismissed for
  children’s church.
• Of course, your children are more than welcome to stay with you for the whole service if you
  would like!

The main entrance to the church is wheelchair-accessible.  We are working hard on making our facilities more accessible and comfortable for all of our guests.

GBC is a church that strives to not only intentionally reach out to the disability community, but to include them into the life and work of the church.

If you or your family has a disability, please feel free to contact Pastor Jim directly and he would love to assist you in making sure that our church can assist you and make your visit as enjoyable and easy as possible. We welcome you to schedule a time with Pastor Jim to see the church facilities and share with him how our church can best serve you and your family.

Our building is located at 20074 Middletown Rd, Freeland Maryland. You can get directions from your location here.

There is plenty of parking available in our parking lot as well as many easily accessible handicap spots.
