Missions at Abilene

At Abilene, we believe that missions is not a one-time event—it’s a way of life. We are called to take the hope of the Gospel to our neighbors and the nations, and we do this through intentional partnerships, hands-on service, and faithful giving. Whether across the street or across the globe, our mission is the same: to make Jesus known.

Local Missions


Missions begin right here in our own backyard. Through our Sunday School classes and trusted local partners, Abilene is actively meeting needs and sharing the love of Christ throughout the CSRA. Whether it’s providing meals, offering shelter, serving vulnerable women, or walking alongside those in crisis, our members are making an impact every day.

We partner with local agencies such as:

  • Broad Street Ministry Center
  • iCare
  • Lighthouse Church
  • Augusta Rescue Mission
  • Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA)
  • Augusta Pregnancy Center

If you want to be the hands and feet of Jesus in your own city, local missions is a great place to start.

National Missions

Our calling doesn’t stop at the state line. Abilene is proud to support and partner with ministries making a Gospel impact across the United States. From legal advocacy to church planting and adoption care, our national partners are bringing truth, hope, and healing to communities from New England to Hawaii.

Ministries we support include:

  • Alliance Defending Freedom
  • Danbury Institute
  • Covenant Care Adoptions
  • Avenue Church – Needham, MA
  • Engage Church – Hilo, HI

Through prayer, giving, and occasional mission trips, our church family plays an active role in advancing the Kingdom across our nation.

Global Missions

God’s heart is for the nations—and so is ours. Abilene sends and supports mission teams around the world to share the Gospel, strengthen churches, and serve those in need. In recent years, we’ve sent teams to Panama, Guatemala, Poland, and Mexico, each with the purpose of pointing people to Jesus.

We also support global missions financially through trusted partners like:

  • International Mission Board (IMB)
  • Friends of Nazareth
  • A church plant in Turkey

When you support missions at Abilene, you’re part of something bigger—bringing the hope of Christ to every corner of the earth.
