As a Baptist church we regard Baptism as an important step in discipleship
Baptism is a declaration of our faith in God for forgiveness of sin and our desire to follow Jesus in our everyday lives. At ABC we see baptism as an important step in discipleship. For more information or if you feel ready to take this step contact us through the link at the bottom of this page.
Serving Others
At ABC we also count it a privilege to serve others. We totally believe that a lifestyle of service is the way Jesus wants us to live, and so we do our best to support each other and help those who need it, wherever and however that may be. Some of the ministry opportunities available at ABC are listed below. If you're keen to get involved and join with our teams to make a difference we'd be keen to hear from you!

Service Teams
Service teams facilitate the smooth running of our church services. They greet visitors, pray for the offering, serve tea and coffee after the service and most importantly, do the dishes! Currently service teams are on once every five weeks. You can identify them by the blue tag that they will be wearing.
Joining a service team is a great way to get to know people and an easy way to contribute.
Financial Giving
At ABC we believe the 'offering' God requires from all of us is literally our whole lives. We give our whole lives as a joyful response to God's grace and truth. Our responsibility is to be good stewards of all that God has given us, including our finances.
So while Jesus wants our hearts more than our money, We seek to follow His teachings on money because what we spend our money on reveals our heart. What people choose to give to ABC is primarily a personal matter between you and God –there is no compulsion or obligation to financially support the activities of ABC.
All we ask is that everyone who gives financial donations to ABC does it out of generosity and joy, Simply because God is generous to us
