We have a growing young adult program made up of long time members and college students from NCSU who have joined us recently. Each month we get together for food and fellowship. Some of the activities that we like to do are go to the beach, monthly lunches after church, Christmas parties, Super Bowl parties, and other things. We meet for Bible study on Sunday mornings upstairs in the main building.
We would love to meet you and we hope our ministry is what you need at this time in your life.
Join us at 9:45 am on Sunday morning for Bible Study and coffee.
Music is very important at Athens Drive Baptist Church and we use various styles of music in our worship services. Music is vital as we worship God, and it also encourages us, inspires us to praise and give thanks, and draws us closer to God.
We have musical opportunities for different ages such as handbells, children’s choir and adult choir. The Music Ministry of Athens Drive Baptist Church offers something special for everyone. If you have an interest in music we welcome you and your family to share in this ministry with us. There is a place for you!
