WELCOME to the website of the Central Seventh Day Baptist Church. Please take a few minutes to look at the various pages you will find here.

On Sabbath Day, Januuary 21, Pastor Dave began a series of messages entitled "Abiding in the Vine," using John 15:1-11. We hope you'll take time to view the second of these timely messages in the video below. Other videos can be viewed by clicking on "Media" (left hand side of this page) and then click on "Worship Service Videos." Check out our photo albums, including pictures of our 2011 General Conference. Videos of General Conference evening messages, and the Sabbath morning message, can be viewed in the "Media" section of this page. We are also a partner with the Brazilian SDB Conference in their building of a parsonage for one of their pastors. You can view that information by going to "Ministries" and then clicking on "Brazil Mission."

Besides being a member of the Seventh Day Baptist General Conference, we are a member of the Eastern Association of Seventh Day Baptists, and the National Coalition of Ministries to Men (NCMM). Once a year, in September, we join with the other Metro Area Seventh Day Baptist Churches for a day of worship and fellowship.

Central Seventh Day Baptist Church was founded in 1978 as a branch church of the Washington, DC, Seventh Day Baptist Church. We have rented facilities at Hope Presbyterian Church for over 25 years and have enjoyed a rich relationship with that congregation and its pastors. But now the time has come for Central to have its own facility. We have voted to purchase the Jim Chroniger property at 6106 Cipriano Road in Lanham, MD. We had a feasibility study done and have received the report from the geological and environmental study. We have a propopsed floor plan, and a conceptual drawing of the outward appearance of the building. These pictures are in the "Central's Future Home" section of our phoito album. Please take time to view these. We are excited about having our own building and look forward to the new ministries that will open for us. If you would like to know more, please contact our pastor. If you would like to contribute to our Building Fund, send those funds to Mrs. Raakeli Watt, Treasurer, 6608 Pepin Drive, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772. Thank you and God bless you.

Central SDB Church is made up of people just like you, seeking to live out their faith in an ever-increasingly complex world. We believe the Bible is valid for today. You are invited to join us on any Sabbath (Saturday) at 10:00 AM for Bible study. We have gifted teachers and classes for all ages. Our 11:15 AM worship service is a rich blend of traditional hymns and contemporary choruses, and the messages are always a "now" word for our lives. You will receive a warm welcome from us, and God's blessing of worshipping on His Holy Sabbath.
