Welcome to Odenton
I’m Jason Barthelemy, and I serve as our Odenton campus pastor. If you don’t know, Bay Area is a multisite church based in Annapolis, Maryland. In September 2019 we launched our newest campus in the Odenton community! If you live in the greater Fort Meade-Odenton area, I would love to meet you and invite you to join us. Bay Area Odenton has Sunday gatherings every weekend with modern worship and a video-fed relevant, biblical message. We’re passionate about seeing families thrive, so we also have exciting ministries for children and students, as well as community groups for adults. I hope you’ll check us out - send me an email if you want to learn more!
Campus Update: June 2024
A few weeks ago, we had a vision meeting after the Odenton Campus gathering. At the meeting, we shared that on Sunday, September 15, we will be turning five years old as a campus. We have seen incredible transformation and connection with the families who have been a part of our community. Most recently, we have observed an increase in kids being baptized showing the incredible discipleship and growth among our families.
In this meeting, we spent most of our time sharing our need to pray for a permanent building. A permanent building gives us the opportunity to have a presence in the community and provide effective ministry throughout the week. The lack of a building is a hindrance to the vision of reaching this community. Additionally, the county has a limit for churches to rent without an additional usage fee to 5 years. The earliest this deadline could hit for us is June of 2025.
We've listed below some key needs that we are ideally looking for in a future space. We are not looking for land to build on (unless someone has land to give us) due to the fact that it will take too long and cost too much to make this happen. Please don’t hesitate to reach out at Jason.barthelemy@bayareacc.org if you have any questions or building prospects
