ABOUT

In 2003, after much prayer, the Lord led Pastor Scott Kidwell to the Damascus area to start a New Testament, Independent Baptist Church. After meeting at John T. Baker Middle School for about a year, Shining Light Baptist Church was chartered with thirteen members. In June 2005, Sunday morning services were moved to Rocky Hill Middle School in Clarksburg. We met at this location for 3 ½ years. The church currently meets at Salem Church on Ridge Road in Germantown.
Many souls have been saved through outreaches such as bus ministry, Vacation Bible School, soul-winning visitation, county and community fair outreach, tent revival, park outreach, as well as regular scheduled services.
