Adult Ministry

Adult Ministry

Women’s Ministry

We have five circle groups who meet under the umbrella of the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU) (Amy Long, Cheryl Camp, Circle of Faith, Lottie Moon, and My Mission/BYW). They cover various ages, meet once a month on different days, at different times/locations. But all of them are focused on missions—praying for our missionaries, taking on missions’ projects, and reaching out to our community. If you’re interested in joining a group or learning more about them, contact the church office.

First Baptist also participates in the events put on by the Lakelands Baptist Association, including the Lakelands Women’s Ministry, which holds two events a year at various churches in the area.

Men’s Ministry

Our men’s group meets on Wednesday evenings for a relaxed Bible study and fellowship time. We occasionally take on work projects around Abbeville as we try to use our construction skills to help the community. 

First Baptist also participates in the events put on by the Lakelands Baptist Association, including the Lakelands Men’s Ministry, which holds four events a year at various churches in the area.

Senior Adult Ministry

We have an active senior adult ministry. Come join us once a month as our Tweenagers (senior adults, from any ages “’tween 50 and 105) meet in the CLC for a special program followed by a covered dish lunch.

Our seniors are also invited to take occasional day trips, and do two longer Jubilee trips/year to the beach and to the mountains.  

For our homebound members and those living in assisted living/nursing homes, we have Hearts In Action, which are volunteers who minister to them regularly through services, visits, and birthday celebrations.
