Welcome
Welcome to the DC Baptist Convention, where churches and believers unite to serve Christ and impact our communities for His glory. Here you’ll find resources, events, and opportunities to grow in faith, strengthen ministries, and connect with others in service. We invite you to explore, be encouraged, and join us as we live out the Gospel together.
Bylaws & Constitution Video & Class
American Baptist attorney Rev. David Ball will lead an in-depth training on church bylaws and constitutions, guiding leaders through the process of exploring, understanding, and revising these essential documents. This learning experience will address key questions such as the difference between a constitution and bylaws, whether a church can deem its current documents no longer in effect, what is legally required to start anew or make revisions, what specific elements must be included, and how articles of incorporation factor into the process. The training includes both a video session beginning Monday, January 12 and a live virtual presentation on Tuesday, February 10 at 7:30 pm, with opportunities for questions and discussion. Registration is one hundred dollars per church for members and one hundred seventy five dollars for non members, which includes access to both sessions for up to five participants and strongly encourages viewing the video before attending the live event. Churches that previously registered and paid for the 2025 session do not need to register again and may email communications@dcbaptist.org to confirm their status.
Sister Circle 2026
The DCBC 6th Annual Sister Circle 2026, titled “Bridging the Gap: Shared Wisdom Among Women Across Generations,” invites women to gather virtually on Thursday, March 5, for a dynamic and meaningful experience held in celebration of Women’s History Month. This interactive event creates space to explore how wisdom is perceived and received across generations, unpack unspoken expectations, and intentionally co-create mutual spaces of belonging among women of faith. Participants will learn, share, and celebrate the work of the Lord through rich dialogue and reflection led by two distinguished women in ministry and leadership: Rev. Sandra Dorsainvil, Leadership Coach and Retreat Facilitator, and Renata Ellis, Certified Leadership Coach. Two Zoom sessions are available—a mid-day session from 12:00–1:15 p.m. and an evening session from 8:00–9:15 p.m.—allowing registrants to select their preferred time. Zoom access details will be sent to all registrants on March 4.
