An Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) is a group of 15-90 people who identify and relate to each other as a community within First Baptist Church. ABFs are essentially congregations within a congregation. An ABF can have a mix of ages, but is normally organized by similar "life stages" or peer groups.

In our world of overcrowded schedules and superficial relationships, ABFs provide a place of really knowing others and really belonging to a group of people that care about you.

Please join an ABF on Sunday mornings at 9:00am! If you aren't sure which ABF you should attend, please seek out someone to ask. If you'd like more information about our ABF program, don't hesitate to contact the Church Office.
