About

Holy Bible Orthodox Baptist Church in Carlsbad meets inside Heritage Hall at McGee Park, 2650 Garfield Street, operating as an independent King James Version Baptist congregation under the pastoral leadership of John Granado. The church's worship incorporates traditional hymn singing and choral arrangements, a musical tradition that resonates across Carlsbad Village's broader arts corridor, home to instructional programs at Carlsbad Performing Arts Academy. Midweek Bible study on Thursday evenings supplements the primary Sunday gathering, providing a two-session weekly rhythm anchored in expository KJV teaching. The sanctuary receives seasonal floral installations for Easter and Christmas liturgies, with arrangements from Flowers Forever along the Carlsbad Flower Fields corridor complementing the traditional hymnal-driven service format. The KJV-exclusive pulpit ministry adheres to the Orthodox Baptist distinctives of soul liberty, believer's baptism by immersion, congregational polity, and the autonomy of the local church from denominational hierarchies.
