Why is it that the choice among churches always seems to be the choice between intelligence on ice and ignorance on fire? - Diana Butler Bass

About UsBecause the words above ring true, we want to be a community of faith that can be experienced as "intelligence on fire." While we can't claim to know all the answers, we believe that learning and action are two essential aspects of our worship.
Williamsburg Baptist has been around since 1828, and today, we are as committed as ever to embodying what many call "Beloved Community." Our aim is to bring the Good News to each other and to our surroundings, and in this Gospel-witness encounter the love of God in this life and beyond. |

Who We Are |
Williamsburg Baptist is a moderate-to-progressive community of faith that is welcoming of all. We still hold to our Baptist heritage because we believe that the historic, Baptist principles of freedom of conscience and the separation of church and state are important. Our vision is to follow Christ together, worshiping, learning, and extending God's welcome to all as a Beloved Community. To go to our visitor's page CLICK HERE.
