What makes FBC different?

The fellowship of believers at Faith Baptist Church in Salisbury, MD recognizes its need for growth in Christ through the acceptance of and adherence to the Word of God above all else.

At FBC, one may expect to see a variety of persons from across the greater Wicomico county area engaged in fellowship over the Word of God in a traditional manner. From the nursery to the Sunday morning service, from summertime mid-week “Picnic-On-The-Go’s” to beautiful Easter morning cantatas, the truths of Scripture are carefully divided and set forth.

By joining us, you are joining sinners saved by grace attempting to live this life for Christ as He has enabled us to do so. Perfection we do not claim, and perfection you will not find.

HOW CAN I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
