Our Story

Holland Baptist Church (HBC) began in 1880 as an afternoon Sunday School Class. It constituted as a church and moved into the first building in less than two and half years. The Rev. James E. Jones served as the first Pastor from 1880 until 1904. Through the years, the church grew and improved its facilities and went through numerous periods of growth and decline as the fortunes of Holland, waxed and waned. In 1919, the current church site was secured and a sanctuary building was completed and occupied in April of 1923. In 1993, HBC began construction on a new sanctuary after a devastating fire destroyed the old building. Worship services resumed in 1995, and HBC has been growing strong ever since.

We are on a journey.  Holland Baptist Church is committed to fostering a family built around following Jesus Christ, the author of our hope. Frankly, He is the only hope for our future... hope for better... hope for progress... hope for our families. And as we move forward as a church family, learning to be more like Jesus remains at the center of who we are as followers of Christ.
What's the bottom line? More than ever, Holland Baptist Church desires to help people just like you find life in Jesus and follow God’s path for our lives. Regardless of your past or present, there's a bright future for anyone and everyone who has life in Jesus—including you!
