For more than 135 years, God has been faithfully at work through Amissville Baptist Church.
Amissville Baptist Church began as a Baptist Bible study and was eventually constituted as a local church on December 29, 1888. During its first year, ABC grew from 26 members to 91 members. Two years later in the summer of 1891, the church constructed and opened its current sanctuary. As the church expanded numerically and shifted from monthly meetings to weekly meetings, the saints of ABC also expanded ABC's physical footprint to include a cemetery in 1920, electricity in 1926, a fellowship hall in 1982, and air conditioning in 1986.
Over the last hundred plus years, ABC has baptized hundreds of souls. Families across Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Fauquier counties have deep ties to ABC. ABC has commissioned six of its members to serve as pastors and another one as a missionary to Swaziland.
In 2018, ABC's called Dr. Peter Witkowski to serve as its senior pastor, continuing its commitment to gospel preaching, biblical church government, and community involvement.
ABC has a heart to honor its legacy, to glorify the one true God, and to continue reaching tRappahannock County as well as Culpeper County, Fauquier County, and the nations with the good news of the gospel.
