From the humble beginning as a Bible study at 172 East Main Street in 1947, First Baptist Church was established in January 1949. Our Charter under Maryland Law was issued November 22, 1950. Ground breaking for the Sanctuary at our present location was held July 12, 1959.
Today, we are cooperating members of the Susquehanna Baptist Association and the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware. We support over 10,000 home and foreign missionaries throughout America and around the world.
First Baptist Church continues in its ministry to Elkton as a member of the Greater Elkton Ministerial Association. With sister churches, we carry out the Great Commission of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
