Who we are
Almonte Baptist Church is a Gospel-centered and missions-based community church, with the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec (CBOQ), lovingly worshipping and witnessing together.
Our Style
ABC is a place where everyone is welcome! Sunday mornings you’ll see folks in jeans and t-shirts and folks in their “Sunday best.” Come as you are with an open heart, that’s all we ask.
The service is about an hour and a half long with a mix of contemporary Christian worship music and traditional hymns – we value both! You can expect a balance of scripture, music and prayer and a relevant and interesting sermon, usually by our Pastor Jim Perkins.
Occasionally we will have a guest speaker, like a missionary home visiting, or we’ll hear from someone in our community talking about what God means to them and what their journey of faith has been like to this point.
Kids stay with the grown-ups for the first part of the service, and then head off with police-checked volunteers for Sunday school. If it happens that there is no Sunday school available on a particular day, there will be activity sheets for them to access if you so choose. There is a small nursery behind the sanctuary as well as two washrooms and a kitchen adjoining a small fellowship hall, where everyone is welcome to enjoy great coffee and treats after the service.
If you have any questions at all about what to expect or even questions regarding faith and how this Christian life fits into today’s world, feel free to send us an email and either our pastor or one of our elders will get back to you as soon as they can.
