Massachusetts Avenue Baptist Church

Massachusetts Avenue Baptist Church was founded in 1890 when a small group of believers began what was then known as the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. After several years, a new facility was built facing Mass. Ave., and we changed our name to the Massachusetts Avenue Baptist Church. Progress did not stop, and in 1923 our present facility was purchased at 146 Hampshire Street.

The Massachusetts Avenue Baptist Church (MABC) is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches, USA. We are an evangelical ministry. All this simply means that we are a Bible believing and teaching church. Our belief is that Jesus is the answer for the world today, and that He promises everlasting life and abundance to all who believe in Him. Further, we believe that God’s word (the Bible) when believed, confessed, and adhered to, will set mankind free from various bondage's, which prevent us from experiencing the life of abundance that God promises to those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the present-day ministry and operation of the Holy Spirit through our Pastor, Rev. Brenda A. Brown.
