THE BIG PICTURE

Adams Village Baptist Church (AVBC) (https://www.adamsvillagebaptistchurch.com), a medium-sized Baptist church in southern Jefferson County, NY, is seeking a new pastor to help our faithful, mission-minded congregation (82 active members) discern the path that God has planned for us.

 

The Church
