Williamsburg Baptist Church is a Baptist church at 227 Richmond Road in Williamsburg, VA 23185. It is one of 86 churches in Williamsburg, and one of 12 Baptist congregations in the city.
Our mission is to follow Christ together, worshiping, serving, learning, and extending God's radical welcome to all as a beloved community.
Because the words above ring true, we want to be a community of faith that is 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 is called "Beloved Community." We want to become Good News for each other and for our community. In this holistic, Gospel-witness, we encounter the love of God in this life and beyond.

Baptists pressed harder than anyone for religious liberty in America, and the freedom every other congregation on this map enjoys is partly what they won. They have carried believers' baptism and the priesthood of every believer to more of the world than almost anyone — and the Black Baptist church has repeatedly been the conscience of the whole nation.
