We love Baltimore! This historic city is famous for its history and great people. When Francis Scott Key watched the bombardment of Fort McHenry from Baltimore Harbor, he surely never dreamed as he penned the “Star Spangled Banner” that Baltimore would someday reflect the same melting pot character of the entire United States.

No matter who you are—cross the street and you’re in a new Samaria. No matter who you are—there is something you can do and something you can give to minister to Baltimore … the Samaria in our midst.

Embrace Baltimore is an effort of the North American Mission Board, the Baltimore Baptist Association, and the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware to work with Baltimore's churches to change the city's spiritual climate.

The call is to churches and Christians across North America to come to Baltimore—to Pray, Partner, and Participate where God is already moving, and to help create new ministries to reach out to Baltimore with the life-changing love of Jesus.
