First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Baptist church building in Upper Marlboro, United States.
First Baptist Church of Glenarden is a church building in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, set on a large campus with several connected structures. The main building centers on a sizable auditorium for worship, with additional rooms for education, community activities, and fitness facilities.
The congregation began in 1917 as a small Bible study group led by Robert Warren and his wife in the Glenarden area. Over the following decades it grew steadily and eventually moved to Upper Marlboro, where the current campus was built to meet the needs of a much larger community.
The congregation is known locally as FBCG, a name that appears on signs, programs, and social media across Prince George's County. Visitors often notice how the space is designed for large gatherings, with wide corridors and open foyers that encourage people to linger and talk after services.
The campus is easiest to reach by car, and parking is available on the grounds. Sundays draw the largest crowds, so arriving a little early gives you time to find your way around the buildings before services begin.
Despite carrying the name Glenarden, the church has been based in Upper Marlboro for years, keeping the original place name as a link to its roots. The auditorium is large enough to seat several thousand people at once, which makes it one of the bigger worship spaces in Prince George's County.
