About Us
Ash Avenue Baptist Church
is a family of followers
of the Lord Jesus Christ!
A Little History
The church was established in 1952 by First Baptist Church of South Boston
and the Virginia Baptist Mission Board for the mill workers of Carter Fabric
( later known as J.P. Stevens Co ).
Originally founded as Faith Baptist Church, the young congregation
wanted it's name to reflect its trust in the Lord Jesus.
The mission of the church is still the same as it was 55 years ago....
to be a fellowship of believers in the Lord Jesus through serving each
follower and to work together in sharing His love in at least two ways:
1.) telling all people of the saving grace of Jesus, and
2.) backing it up with the visible loving actions of God
Beliefs
It's often been said, When two or three Baptists are gathered
together there will be 5 to 6 different opinions.
Ash Avenue Baptist Church looks to
the Holy Bible as God's perfect word.
Therefore, we don't hold to any creed.
However, we do look to the
Baptist Faith and Message 1963 (1998)
as a reference to understanding scripture.
