About Vermont Avenue Baptist Church

The Vermont Avenue Baptist Church (VABC)  is an historic 153-old Church which was started by seven previously enslaved individuals.  VABC  has, through the grace and mercy of God, continued to be a church led by the spirit, directed and focused on the will of God and committed to the cause of lifting the name of Jesus. We praise God for the gift of constancy that has kept our light burning, as a city set on a hill, guiding the lost, the disinherited and those in search of salvation to Him. Our church has been blessed to have had only seven pastors (and one interim pastor).
