Here is a brief summary of our church's history . . .
Founded in 1831 as Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, FBC Ashville has been part of the Ashville community for nearly two centuries. The church’s earliest meeting house was shared by Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians before eventually becoming a Baptist congregation and later taking the name Ashville Baptist Church. Over the generations, the church has worshiped in several locations, including the historic sanctuary built on the town square in 1931 and our present Worship Center, which opened in 2001. Through every season, FBC Ashville has remained committed to worship, discipleship, missions, and caring for the people of Ashville and beyond.
FBC Ashville exists to make disciples who show and share the love of Jesus Christ in Ashville, Alabama, and around the world.
By faithfully living out our mission, we believe God can use FBC Ashville to make an eternal difference in our community, our county, our country, and around the world. We want to be disciples of Jesus who put our faith into action—serving the hurting, caring for the homebound and widowed, meeting practical needs, showing kindness and generosity, and carrying the love of Christ beyond our community through missions.
Above all, we want everything we do to point people to Jesus. Whether we are serving across the street or around the world, our greatest desire is to share the good news of Christ and help others become disciples who will show and share His love with others.
We value making disciples who are growing toward a life fully devoted to Jesus Christ and shaped by the truth of Scripture. We want everyone who becomes part of our faith community to grow in both showing and sharing the love of Christ.
To help us pursue that kind of discipleship, we use the seven aspects of discipleship identified by Impact Disciple Making Ministries. Our desire is to develop disciples who are continually Maturing as Members, Managers, Magnifiers, Ministers, Messengers, and Multipliers—growing in their relationship with Christ and faithfully living out their faith in every area of life.
Growing in the Lord and ministry together
