Though it has operated under various names, there has been a Bible preaching church on this very piece of property for over 50 years. It has had three names, but we have operated as Heritage Baptist Church for the last 15 years. We actually have one member who has been here since the church operated under its first name, Sembach Bible Baptist Church.

This church’s main audience has always been the US military stationed in and around Kaiserslautern, although we do wish to impact the German national community, as well.
