About Us

For over 130 years, the Bethel Baptist Church family has sought to demonstrate the wonderful Good News of the Gospel--that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. Our roots in Sykesville go back to 1886, when we began meeting as the Stump Creek/Shaffertown Sunday School, and we are still committed today to the same passion that drove our founders: To glorify God as a family of believers proclaiming the Christ of the Bible as the only salvation for a fallen world.
You can learn more about our beliefs as a church here, and you can get connected with our fellowship here. We look forward to meeting you, and sharing the Good News of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection with you!
