We are so glad you’re here! We strive to welcome all in the love of Christ Jesus. We receive into membership all who follow Jesus—regardless of race, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation. We practice believer’s baptism as well as honor the baptisms of those who come to us from other Christian traditions. We affirm women in ministry and have ordained women as deacons and ministers of the gospel.
We began the Blessings in a Bookbag Ministry in October 2010 as an outreach ministry of the church. School social workers identify those who have the greatest need for food on the weekends. We buy non-perishable, peel-open/pop-top food items and assemble 14-16 items per food bag, including such things as cereal, fruit, granola, pasta, Vienna sausages, cheese crackers and juice boxes. Each Thursday, church volunteers deliver the food bags to two Anson County Public Schools, and the food bags go home in the children's bookbags on Friday. We are now supplying 40 food bags a week.
With a rich history of worship through music, the Music Ministry at First Baptist Church of Wadesboro has deep roots in traditional and sacred music. Today's services embrace a blended style of worship that includes modern anthems and hymn arrangements and contemporary worship music. We have enjoyed a diverse musical past, from handbell groups and youth presentations to ecumenical choirs and special events. Blessed with a love of music, our adult and children's choirs today share the warmth of a family and a heart for worship as we partner together in ministry.
In 2004, a friend who had cancer asked Katie Ward to teach her how to knit. Someone had given her a prayer shawl, and she wanted to pay it forward to other cancer patients. Katie organized other women knitters as the Prayer Shawl Ministry to make shawls for persons experiencing serious illness or the loss of a family member. Giving a prayer shawl symbolizes that others are praying for healing. Knitters from six Anson County churches knit at home and meet monthly to bless the shawls, beginning with Psalm 139:13-14. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well." The group has given out 4,000 prayer shawls, providing blessings for recipients and for members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry.
