Abbott Baptist Church

Organized in 1876 as Liberty Grove Baptist Church by 13 founding members, this congregation first met in the Liberty Grove Schoolhouse 2 miles south of here. Renamed Abbott Baptist Church in 1879, it moved to Abbott in 1885. Services were held in the Methodist Church until 1892, when a Baptist sanctuary was erected. Additions to the facilities were made in 1923 and 1949 as membership grew. The church has maintained active community outreach and foreign missionary programs and has been an integral part of the community for more than 120 years.
