Rich in history and tradition, Heritage Baptist Church has been a part of the community of Annapolis for more than a century. The church, which currently has a congregation of about 200 people, originated in 1903 when five members of the Eastport Baptist Church dreamed up its creation and raised enough money to see it through. The church's first location was on College Avenue and it remained there until the church moved to its current spot on Forest Drive in 1972. It was then that the Church became known to residents as Heritage Baptist. The church sanctuary includes four beautiful stained-glass windows, which were moved from the College Avenue facility. Reverend Henry Green serves as the church pastor.

Each August, the church draws a large crowd to its Peach Festival, which is a fundraiser that is open to anyone in the community who buys a ticket. It features a bake sale and sit-down dinner. Church members served about 650 dinners at the festival this past year.
