Our Mission.
Sharing God's unconditional love by teaching and
studying His word.
Worshiping through praise and song to share His grace. Connecting souls to Him through prayers so we may be reunited in the Kingdom for eternity.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, and therefore
inerrant, Word of God. It is the final authority for all we believe.
Old
Samaria Baptist Church is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention. As
Baptists, there are distinct practices of the faith which are important to us
and distinguish us from other denominations. For more information, please click on the

The church
now known as Old Samaria Baptist was formed in the early 1880's as Samaria
Baptist Church. The original sanctuary
was completed in 1887 and additional educational space was added later.
A new church building was constructed on
donated property on Hwy. 178, and most of the members then moved to the new
building, taking the church name with them.
The remaining members reorganized under the name of Old Samaria in 1971. The fellowship hall was completed in
1985.
Recent facility updates were
completed in 2021.
Old Samaria is an
active member of the Lexington County Baptist Association and the South
Carolina Baptist Convention. Through the
years, we have promoted the kingdom of God to the Samaria community and
beyond. As the church continues this
tradition, we are focused on the mission of providing opportunities for people
to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus, to grow in their faith, and to serve
others in our community.
