Discipleship Studies
Our mission at Atlantic Shores Baptist Church is to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ who go and make disciples. We take this Great Commission mission (Matthew 28:19-20) seriously and make disciples intentionally. Check out the fall discipleship studies where we help you become a fully devoted follower of Jesus. Life Groups is another environment where we make disciples.

For over six decades, the Lord has used the ministry of AWANA to reach kids, equip leaders, and change the world. Atlantic Shores Baptist Church is pleased to partner with AWANA by offering this discipleship experience as part of our overall Family Ministries. Wednesdays at AWANA will be your child's favorite night of the week as he or she enjoys exciting worship, games, stories, and Bible memorization.
