MINISTRIES
CONNECT & SERVE
At Amherst Baptist, we provide ministries for people of every age to experience God more deeply in a community with which they can connect and serve.
CHILDREN
Our weekly children’s ministries are designed to teach kids in Kindergarten through 6th Grade the Word of God and engage them in activities that show them their need for a Savior.
CHILDREN
CHURCH
Nursery is available for kids 3mo. to 3 years.
Children Church is available for Pre-K and Kindergarten during the sermon.
SUNDAY
SCHOOL
Kids from ages 2-6th Grade are invited after service to explore God’s word through various activities and learn how the stories from the Bible apply to their lives.
Kids in Pre-K - 6th Grade are welcomed to join AWANA and worship, memorize scripture, learn about missions, play games, earn awards, and build friendships. Join at any time during the school year.
Kids in Kindergarten through 6th Grade can join in on VBS, a weeklong summer program designed to give kids the opportunity to encounter Christ through study, games, missions, and more.
YOUTH GROUP
At Amherst Baptist, we empower our youth in grades 6-12 to become leaders and disciples through our Friday night gathering that lasts from 7PM-11PM.
With activities, Bible studies, and games, we seek to build a community that grows in Christ through fellowship and God's Word.

Our weekly ministries will keep you engaged in the community at Amherst Baptist, providing opportunities to grow in relationship with God and others through Bible studies and fellowship.
