Our weekly Wednesday night activities will serve children from age 3 through grade 12 this year! Awana begins at 6:30 PM on Wednesday nights and includes a light supper, Bible study time, and recreation. Awana ends at 7:30 PM.
While children are in Awana, parents/guardians are invited to join us for prayer meeting and Bible study in the ASBC fellowship hall.
Awana can always use extra helpers. If you'd like to volunteer with our Awana program, contact Amy Whaley. All teachers and helpers undergo a background check for the safety of our children.

Have you heard what's starting at ASBC on September 29? Praise & Worship Service on Sundays at 8:30 AM!
Beginning Sunday, September 29, 2024, Austin Street Baptist Church will be holding a praise and worship service at 8:30 AM. This service will include a variety of contemporary praise songs led by Jimmy Read and the ASBC praise and worship team. Joining together to sing the songs will serve as an offering to the One who loves us so much, our one and only Jesus. Our goal through this service and our traditional service is for everyone to leave knowing and feeling that they have been in the presence of our Almighty God. The message from Pastor Whaley will be the same in the 8:30 AM (praise and worship) and 10:45 AM (traditional) services. Everyone is welcome at either or both of our Sunday morning worship services!
Join Us for Worship Sunday Mornings at 8:30 AM and 10:45 AM and Sunday Evenings at 6:30 PM!
Join Us for Prayer/Bible Study and Awana on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM!
