The Early Days
The Lord started Berwyn Baptist Church in November 1922 when He put upon the heart of a group of people to begin a work of His grace in the Berwyn area of College Park, MD.
The church started off at 48th and Tecumseh, faithfully sharing the Word of God as the Lord built His church when a Sunday School enrollment of 400 people in 1950 climbed to 590 people in 1953. A new facility was needed to house the growing church. The current property on Cherokee Street “God’s Three Acres” was purchased in March 1953. Sunday service was held for the first time on November 1, 1959 at the current location.
Reaching the World
Berwyn Baptist partnered with the Lord to help the following mission efforts:
Six couples from Berwyn Baptist have become full-time missionaries in various places: Alaska, Japan, Burkina Faso, Africa, Quito, Ecuador, Venezuela, South America, and Thailand.
Berwyn Baptist Church helped to found Kettering Baptist along with three to four other churches in 1969.
