Our Story
Druid Hills Baptist Church (DHBC) was established in 1914 and since its inception has been a church oriented towards innovation and growth. DHBC enjoyed many firsts among Baptist churches in the south including the first vacation Bible School, the first church day camp and the first co-ed adult class. Through the years DHBC has continued to evolve to meet the needs of the community. It is now one of the last Baptist churches in downtown Atlanta and is located in a very diverse neighborhood at the corner of Ponce and Highland.
The church sanctuary is strikingly beautiful and is often rented for wedding services. It has also served as the site of choral concerts including the Atlanta Boy Choir, Coro Vocati, and the Meridian Choral. In 2009 DHBC worked with an architecture firm to develope the acoustic and worshipful qualities of the sanctuary, create a beautiful site for the main focus of the Selah Center and a theatre for drama groups of all types to utilize. All to seek to be a missional and community oriented church that opens its doors to all.
DHBC is presently involved in the following ministries:
- Member of the Six Star Refugee Partnership, a multi-church organization that brings refugee families to the U.S., sponsors them and helps them assimilate and gain independence. Several refugee families live in housing on DHBC church property. The newest family arrived from Afghanistan on Thursday, November 20th.
- Tutoring refugee adults and children at DHBC on a weekly basis.
- Once monthly feeding men at a nearby Homeless Men’s shelter.
- Once a month movie night at DHBC for the homeless in the neighborhood.
- Mission trips to Guatemala during the past three summers to help an organization called Mission Impact construct a Christian school for girls and perform other service projects in an impoverished village; will return in July of 2011 to continue this effort.
- Annually participate in Operation Christmas Child, an international effort to send gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God’s love to children all over the world.
- Support the Emergency Needs Food Pantry, a cooperative ministry of local congregations to help alleviate hunger by providing nutritious food and social service information to those in need.
Please join us in worship, fellowship and service as we pursue our vision to Love God, Share Christ, Serve People and Grow in Faith!
