Who we are

The Avon Baptist Church is a friendly, welcoming church. Our visitors often comment on the spirit of warmth, cooperation and purpose that they feel here. Our moderate-sized congregation is an increasingly diverse group, coming from different denominational, ethnic and geographical backgrounds. But we are united in our love for Jesus Christ and in our desire to follow His teachings. Families from Avon, Brockton, Stoughton and Randolph (as well as a few towns farther away) attend our services regularly. We are happy that we have a supportive and pleasant relationship with St. Michael's Church - a Catholic church whose parking lot abuts ours.

Our services are not rigidly structured. The service is essentially a traditional one, but through its music and liturgy, reaches out to other traditions for enrichment. Children have a time during worship to hear a message geared to their level. We enjoy music and have a wonderful adult choir, a children's choir, a pipe organ and soloists whose preferences range from gospel to folk to traditional. Lay people are encouraged to participate.

We care about missions and contribute generously to them. There are ample opportunities for fellowship, growing in faith, sharing, caring and giving.
