Village Baptist Church
We reserve the right to accept everybody.
Finding your way
Village is located in South Bowie not far from Bowie Town Center. Our address is 1950 Mitchellville Road, Bowie, Maryland 20716. The parking lot has plenty of space, including handicapped spaces. Our building is fully accessible. Inside the front door there is a coat room to the left and rest rooms down either hallway. The sanctuary is straight ahead. An usher will give you a bulletin and answer any questions you might have. There is a table near the entry with information for visitors.
How we treat visitors
As our motto says, "We reserve the right to accept everybody." We will not ask you to stand or do anything special. We do provide Visitor Cards and a digital connect if you would like to tell us more about yourself. Village tries to have a family atmosphere, and we treat our visitors as welcome guests.
Worship Service
The worship services are described in detail in the bulletins. They include Passing of the Peace, prayer time, songs, an offering, special music, a children's story, scripture reading, sermon and Life of the Church announcements. Although we do "pass the plate" and offer digital giving, we do not expect visitors to contribute unless they feel so moved. All worship activities at Village are open to guests as well as members.
Children
Village has childcare with professional caregivers for younger children. You can find the Nursery suite, down the hall to the left as you enter the building. Older children are welcome in the worship service, which includes activity bags and a children's story. There is a special children's church time in a separate room after the Children's Story for those 4-10 years old.
Dress Code
We are a "come as you are" church. Wear whatever is comfortable. You will see Villagers wearing everything from casual jeans and shirts to dresses and suits.
Other activities
Worship is just one part of what happens at Village. We offer Bible Study, mission projects, fellowship activities, music programs, and more.
