Welcome to Arlington Baptist Church. Until we can welcome you in person this will have to suffice. We are a small congregation in south Arlington--small in membership, but enormous in love and caring for each other, for people around us in our community and throughout the world. It would be our joy and privilege to have you worship with us. We are located in the Glebe Road/Columbia Pike area and we are easy to find. Call us at 703-979-7344 for directions or email us at arlbc@cavtel.net. (also see directions on this web site)

Our worship services tend toward the traditional with some contemporary elements. Worship is probably the most important thing we do because it is through worship that we praise God and sense his presence in leading us to do his will.

We have both formal and informal fellowship times and these draw us closer together as a community of faith. We welcome anyone who chooses to be a part of this fellowship.

We also have a Cambodian Church Fellowship that shares our ministry. The Fellowship meets each Sunday for worship and at other times for bible Study (see weekly schedule), and meet each second Sunday for fellowship dinners. Both congregations meet and participate together on the first Sunday of each month in the worship services.

Our missions program consists of giving financially to support the mission efforts of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Baptist World Alliance. Through our local and state associations we have had a part in disaster relief. We also encourage our congregation to actively participate in mission activities. We operate a food ministry on Wednesday evenings, provide back packs for children and youth in our community schools and also participate in Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. We are open to other suggestions for missions that come from interest and concern of our members.

Each Sunday morning at 9:30 we meet in small groups to study God's word and seek its relevance as we live out our lives in our world
