Men's

The primary goal is to develop a ministry, which addresses the fellowship needs of men, provide information on service opportunities, and encourage ABC men to support church ministries.

 

Women's

The primary goal is to prepare the women of ABC and the women of our communities to live an abundant life by teaching the Word of God in a simplistic and practical manner. Thereby, women will learn how to walk in love, live in the unity of the Spirit, demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit, and operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Three year olds must be potty-trained and not wearing pull-ups

Singles

The Singles Ministry is to seek and serve God by developing the living experiences of our unmarried brothers and sisters in order that they might exemplify Christ through the service of love. We will further seek to create an inclusive, safe environment that takes a responsible and respectful Holy Spirit inspired approach that uplifts the acceptance of wholeness.  

 

Evangelism

The commission proclaims the gospel and salvation of Jesus Christ--both within and outside the church--so that those who are lost will find salvation for themselves, and those who have received salvation will be convicted and transformed to do greater works. This ministry works hand-in-hand with the Missions Ministry of the church.

The ministry provides juice and water on the pulpit for each worship service; prepares the pastor’s baptismal apparel; welcomes guest speakers and ministers; hosts receptions; serves refreshments at new members’ meetings and serves whenever asked.

 

Health and Wellness (Body & Soul)

The Health-Wellness Ministry assists the membership in keeping the temple of God healthy for service to God by promoting an ongoing awareness of the importance of good health care through screening and other preventive measures (e.g., educational awareness and preventive programs, health fairs and seminars.)
