Aberdeen First Baptist Church is located in Moore County, North Carolina. The church was founded in 1894 and has remained a vibrant community of believers ever since. Our congregation is Christian in its faith, Baptist in its convictions and polity and evangelistic in its heart.  Aberdeen First Baptist is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, which is a cooperating fellowship of 47,000 churches in the United States.  Our doctrinal statement is The Baptist Faith and Message (2000).

AFBC is best described as a conservative community of diverse people committed to applying the teachings of the Bible to every facet of living, while acknowledging our own brokenness and need for a loving and supportive church family.  Our goal  is to glorify God by the faithful preaching and teaching of the Bible, to grow believers as personal disciples of Jesus, equipping them for local ministry and nurturing a heart to contribute in getting the gospel to all people.

On Sunday mornings, at AFBC, you will find worship to be Christ centered and the music a mix of contemporary songs and hymns. The focus will clearly be on the Word of God and the elevation of Christ.  Our pastor will most likely be preaching through a book of the Bible, explaining it in its context, while applying it to our lives in practical ways.   As for dress,  it can be described as ‘casual' though you may find some men wearing ties and ladies wearing dresses.  Whether you decide to dress up or down, know that you will be welcome at Aberdeen First Baptist Church.

Guest parking is clearly marked and located on Montford Street as you turn from HWY 1.  From there you can walk up the stairs to the front entrance of the sanctuary.  Handicapped parking is located in two places.  One area is on the north side of the building.  Simply turn off of HWY 1 into the entrance between the church's sign and the brick house.  The other area is accessed off Poplar Street, in the rear of the building in the lower parking lot.  No matter where you park, you will be greeted by smiling folks who are ready to help you find your way around!

If you have little ones (infants & preschoolers), the best place to park is in the paved area of the main parking lot – accessed either off of HWY 1 or Poplar Street.  From there, it is a short walk down the steps to the nursery and preschool entrance.  You will find a safe and clean nursery area for your infants and toddlers at AFBC.  Children 4 years and older will remain with their parents in the sanctuary.  Our Children's Ministry provides activity bags for your younger ones to use during the service.  We love seeing and hearing kids in our worship!  However, we do have a “cry room” available just in case you need it.
