About Us

Potomac Heights Baptist Church began in the 1950s when Indian Head Baptist Church decided to plant a church in the Potomac Heights subdivision, and now we've been sharing the good news of Jesus Christ for well more than half a century!

PHBC is a church in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware, and the Potomac Baptist Association.

PHBC is a church that serves our community as we seek to reach the world. You will find men and women of different ethnic groups attending our services.

We hope you will come by and learn more about the people who are Potomac Heights Baptist Church.
