“60 Years for ABCC!”
September 2026
“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”
Psalms 100:5 NIV
“For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV
60 Years ago, Angier Baptist Church Daycare was born! 60 years is a long time! (Unless we’re talking about people’s ages and then 60 is young!) We are proud to be the longest continually operating Child Care Center in Harnett County.
Lots of things have changed in the past 60 years. The name is now Angier Baptist Child Care. The location shifted from inside the church to the parsonage. The curriculum and the staff have certainly changed through the years.
But the most important thing remains the same, ABCD/ABCC has always been a safe place for children to learn and grow in the love of God.
Thousands of children have been blessed by this tremendous ministry. Even more parents, family members, and staff have been impacted. Take a moment to think of all the meals that have been served. (We’ll serve approx. 5000 this year alone!) Think of all the naps that have been taken (and at least a few avoided!!) Think of the hours spent singing Jesus Loves Me (and others), learning ABC’s & 1, 2, 3’s. These children have learned that the “B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me.”
There’s no way to fully quantify the scope of this ministry. But the 2 verses above certainly speak to the impact that this ministry has made.
This year we’re celebrating these 60 years with a very special worship service on Sunday, September 20, at 11 am. We will have an Open House immediately following worship at the Child Care Building. We hope you will all plan to join us as we worship God and celebrate all that God has done, and continues to do through ABCC!
In Christ,
Pastor Thomas

There’s no way to fully quantify the scope of this ministry. But the 2 verses above certainly speak to the impact that this ministry has made.
- God’s faithful love has certainly endured and generations have seen his faithfulness through ABCC. (We have grandchildren of previous students who are currently ABCC!)
- This ministry has been the work of God, through faithful “co-workers in God’s service.” Preschool Teachers are a gift from God and capable administration is an absolute necessity. This ministry doesn’t exist without the faithful dedication of hundreds of teachers through the years.
This year we’re celebrating these 60 years with a very special worship service on Sunday, September 20, at 11 am. We will have an Open House immediately following worship at the Child Care Building.
