Guests

Abilene Baptist Church is an exciting place full of encouraging people. We love the opportunity to get to make new friends and help them become a part of the Abilene family.

Visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating even for the most out-going person. That’s why we do everything we can to help you be comfortable and get the most out of your visit.

What should I expect?

You should expect to be warmly welcomed by greeters and people who are glad you’ve come. Abilene is a Southern Baptist Church that believes in dynamic, practical, Biblical preaching and exciting worship that touches the hearts of people from all ages and stages of life.

How should I dress?

At Abilene you’ll see people of all ages wearing suits and dresses as well as khakis and slacks. While we do believe that an important part of worship is giving our best to God, we also believe the biblical truth that “man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
