About Colonial Baptist Church:
Colonial Baptist Church (CBC) is a predominantly African American church with a vision of being multicultural, multi-generational and multiracial. The church was established in 1945 and celebrated its 79th anniversary earlier this year. We have a high view of the Bible and, believe that everything we believe and do must be based on God's word. To that end, we seek to fulfill Jesus' command in the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8), to make disciples to reach the world for Christ. We believe in the inerrancy and infallibility of scripture. The church is in a suburb of Baltimore County, easily accessible, close to major traffic routes with residential communities within a 30-minute radius. Through fasting and praying we believe that God will send the church a new shepherd to lead his flock.
