148th Annual Gathering of Churches

Saturday, October 4 | 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Montgomery Hills Baptist Church
9727 Georgia Avenue, Forest Glen, MD

​

The DC Baptist Convention warmly invites pastors, ministry leaders, congregants, and youth to join us for our 2025 Annual Gathering of Churches.

​

This year’s theme, “Where Do We Go from Here? Marching to the Rhythm of God’s Call,” draws from Psalm 40:3:

“He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.”

​

In a season marked by uncertainty, loss, and change, this gathering offers a space for spiritual renewal, encouragement, and direction. Through inspiring teaching, worship, master classes, and fellowship, we will reflect on how God is still writing a new song over our lives—and how music can be a source of healing and hope.
