God Bless America!
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."--John 15:13 "God Bless America" is the heartbeat of Community Baptist Church. Groton, Connecticut is a port city known as the Submarine capital of the world. At any point in time, the large Sub School located on the base trains several thousand young men and women. With the United States Coast Guard Academy in neighboring New London, this means there are thousands of military families in our surrounding area. As you can imagine this poses a great need and desire to reach and minister to these dear men and ladies, who sacrifice to defend our nation. At Community, we endeavor to do just that. Each week we have church families distributing information about our church to military housing and throughout the barracks. This has been an affective tool in reaching our military. Along with our outreach programs we have implemented some other means to show that Community Baptist cares...one way was distributing homemade cookies to the sailors in the barracks, another was a Thanksgiving celebration in their honor...what a feast!  We have learned that our military singles have one common denominator...they all love to eat! One way we fill that need for a home cooked meal is by opening up several homes from our church family to provide a place to relax, play video games, and eat and eat. Oh yes, did I mention eat? This usually takes place after the Sunday morning service. Transportation is always provided to and from the base. Just give the church a call. Another way we honor our military is by our Military Appreciation services. Here we dedicate an entire Sunday to thank our servicemen and hear testimonies from our church members. We also have a ministry to our Military families. The OverSEAers is a support group for the wives and children while hubby and daddy is underway. We issue each military family a family in the church just before a long term deployment. The church family will be available for advice regarding car trouble, offer fellowship, or address any other need that may arise. Leaving for Deployment? As a convenience to our submariner friends, the following is a list of like faith and practice churches located near submarine bases around the world. The list has graciously been provided by Armed Forces Baptist Missions.
