About Dry Valley Baptist
Learn about our history, beliefs, and the calling God has placed on our church family.
Our Story
Dry Valley Baptist Church traces its roots back to 1939, when people in the valley began praying for a church. The church officially organized in 1941 and has served the Summerville community faithfully ever since.
For over eight decades, we've remained committed to that original vision: preaching God's Word faithfully, worshiping Him authentically, and serving our neighbors compassionately.
Today, we're a diverse, multi-generational family of believers united by our love for Jesus and our desire to see lives transformed by the gospel. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have walked with Jesus for decades, there's a place for you here.

The Church
The local church is God's primary plan for believers to worship, grow, and serve together.
