developing our faith through
deep discipleship to
engage our community

Ashland Baptist Church has been a pillar in the community of Ashland since our founding in 1879. A group men and women desired to be faithful to God's call on their lives, invest in fellowship with each other, and reach their community by planting five churches from New Salem Baptist Church.  In that first year, Ashland Baptist Church had 40 charter members. One year later, the building of the oldest part of the current building was completed and the Ashland Baptist family grew greatly as the total members moved to 70. For years, ABC continued to be a place where people gathered to draw nearer to Jesus Christ, grow in fellowship together, and reach their community with the Gospel of Jesus.

Today, that heart still carries on. ABC continues to be a place where we seek God, encourage each other, and reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus.

Our mission is to be a vibrant, Christ-centered community as we grow in our upward relationship with Jesus Christ, in our inward relationships with other followers of Jesus, and in our outward relationship with our community as we share the Gospel.

1. Evangelize the lost by preaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified at every service and event.

2. Endeavor to love our neighbor as ourselves with grace, mercy and patience.

3. Equip the church family to love and serve God with passion.

4. Energize through vibrant contemporary worship to reach our community.

5. Expand Lifegroups and discipleship programs.

6. Engage our community with relevant ministries and purposeful outreach.

7. Encourage commitment to missions and persistent prayer.
