For nearly 100 years, Florida Avenue Baptist Church (FABC) has served the greater Washington, DC area as a Discipleship Center. Located near the corner of Florida and Georgia Avenue, FABC stands as a familiar edifice within the historic LeDroit Park community. Under the leadership of Pastor, Dr. Earl D. Trent Jr., FABC routinely engages in select ministries domestically and internationally. At FABC, we strive to bring God's Kingdom here on earth not only through worship on Sunday's but through teaching, and discipleship throughout the community and world. Whether it's our Worship service on Sunday's at 10am or our annual support of the D.C. Crop Walk, we invite you to come fellowship with FABC.
EPA Administrator to Speak at Solar Panel Unveiling
On May 3, Florida Avenue Baptist Church will host a ribbon cutting ceremony becoming the first African-American church in the District of Columbia to be powered by solar energy. In partnership with the church and LeDroit Park LLC, Volt energy LLC, a renewable energy project development company with offices in Washington, D.C., installed the 10 Kilowatt system on the roof of the church. Now the church generates electricity at a significant cost savings and reduces its carbon footprint. Full Story...
A Quick Word with God
Follow our Pastor, Dr. Earl D. Trent Jr., as he provides a look into God's word. Our feature devotional is a special Lenten devotional entitled: "Speak to My Heart".
Think About it
Matthew 6:21 says, 'Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.' That means wherever I put my money shows my priorities. If I put my money in my house, that is where my heart is. If I put my money in eating out,...if I put my money in my clothes, if I put my money into a hobby, that's where my heart is. So the question then becomes, where do you wamt your heart to be? Wherever you want your heart to be that is where you need to put your money. Every time you give back to God, you draw closer to him." --Discovering Spiritual Maturity, Rick Warren
