Our Ministry

We will show by example how to live a Christian life and how to encourage new followers.

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”  — Jesus

(Matthew 5:14-16)
New International Version

A Word About Our Name

The church was incorporated as The First Baptist Church of North Abington in 1886. As the years went on since and the communities of North Abington and Abington became less distinct, the common reference of the church omitted the ‘North’. So that today we are known best as the First Baptist Church of Abington.
