Outer Banks Community Organizations

Through the love God gives us and the way we strive to love others, we believe that the world can be changed. We hold services at 8 and 10:30 a.m. on Sundays and offer children's ministry during both times. Join us there or at our Sunday School at 9:30 with coffee, classes and fellowship.

Here at Manteo Baptist Church our sole purpose is to glorify God with guidelines based on the Great Commission's goal to obey the Great Commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves and to make Christ known to the nations. At Manteo Baptist Church our mission follows five core words: Come, Connect, Grow, Serve and Go. Our welcoming environment and greeting team make you instantly feel at home as you walk through our doors. We want everyone who walks into our building to have fun and welcome the love of God with open arms. All are welcome here and we hope to help walk you through your spiritual journey. 

Every year, more than half a million babies are born too soon in the United States. Our country’s premature birth rate has risen by 36 percent over the last 25 years. That’s serious cause for concern. Premature birth costs society more than $26 billion a year and takes a high toll on families. Babies born just a few weeks early are at risk of severe health problems and lifelong disabilities. Premature birth is the number 1 killer of newborns. In local communities across the country, we're helping moms take charge of their health, and supporting families when something goes wrong. The March of Dimes also acts globally: sharing best practices in perinatal health and helping improve birth outcomes where the needs are the most urgent. We're reaching moms with information on having full-term and healthy pregnancies. Professional education and medical resources on topics like premature birth and birth defects, are helping health care providers better support their patients. We are advocates. National guidelines for newborn screening were issued to help promote consistency among states so that all babies are screened for life-threatening identifiable, but treatable, disorders regardless of where they live. The March of Dimes advocates for renewal of these initiatives and implementation of their policies. We invest in research. The March of Dimes supports research aimed at preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
