b'OUR CAMPUS The location of First Baptist Church in the downtown area of our city places us in a unique position to impact the Abilene community. Our core values directly align with our geographic opportunity. As a church in the heart of the city, we attract people from every quadrant of Abilene for worship and discipleship. As a missional church that has a history of seeking innovative ways to meet the needs of our city, our central location has facilitated the creation of dynamic outreach ministries among our neighbors.We enjoy a large campus incorporating property on seven city blocks. The various buildings we employ for worship and ministry are available to us through the wise foresight and remarkable generosity of many people through the generations whom God has led to provide for our churchs needs. All of the major buildings on our campus have been thoroughly renovated in recent years. MAIN FACILITY The main church facility is made up of three sections and occupies a city block. The sanctuary has a seating capacity of 1280, and the choir loft can hold up to 100 people. The adjacent four-story Sunday School Building to the east comprises over 50 current Sunday School classrooms, church offices, and the library. This building extends south to encompass the church kitchen, dining hall, GLO Day Care Center, and the second floor youth ministry area. The area also has several Sunday school class rooms and a chapel,which seats approximately 175. Current plans for this wing of the building include renovation following the move of GLO to its new facility at the Hope Center. The church nursery will transition to this space, and the current nursery will become Sunday School rooms that will be more accessible for our senior adults. 32'
