Mountain Brook Baptist Church is a Baptist church with approximately 1,985 members located at 3631 Montevallo Road in Mountain Brook. The church offers both traditional and contemporary worship services on Sundays and Wednesday evenings.

It was organized on April 25, 1944, and purchased the first part of its present location on January 29, 1946. Its current main sanctuary was designed by Harold Wagoner and opened on March 26, 1967. The windows were designed by Willett Studios of Philadelphia.

Mountain Brook Baptist hosts several community functions, including elementary school graduations. The church uses Mountain Brook Junior High School's parking lot for overflow from its existing 247-space lot.

In 2004 the Church's plans to add a 331-space parking deck were denied by the city after neighbors protested. A new plan to add 192 spaces in a partially-sunken 3-story deck and to expand an existing Family Life Center is currently under review.
