Our Church Community- Fellowship & Outreach

Art Van Program

This is an outreach for people of all ages to experience the good feelings of doing art and expressing themselves in a positive manner.

Fellowship of the Church

The congregation enjoys working to help make the church a fun loving place to worship by serving on boards and also enjoying fellowship with others by having picnics, camping, game nights, movie nights and luncheons.

American Baptist Women's Ministries

ABWM, American Baptist Women's Ministries, is made up of our church women who meet at regular intervals to help to make our world a little warmer and kinder.  We plan for mission activities, such as bandages for third world countries, and provide money and items for various charities in our country and around the world.  Our main goal is to GIVE of our hearts and minds and help in any way that we can for others. We join together to enjoy the company of our fellow Christian women and become stronger in our love for one another and for our Lord, always striving to improve our Christian walk with God!

Church Board Information

The Deaconate Board

This Board consists of 4 male and 4 female members of the church. This is a 4 year commitment to serve the congregation. The board has a number of issues that it is responsible for such as approving the use of the church for other activities such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and AA meetings which are held in the Church's fellowship hall. The board, through Pastor Ron and the Salvation Army, give a food gift card for a struggling family each Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The board also does outreach to the community as needed.

The Board of Christian Education

This Board oversees the education ministries of the church. The members of this board supervise, encourage, advise, and work with the Sunday school program. They also plan special events such as Christmas, Easter, Children's Day and Rally Day programs.

The board also organizes a church event each year to provide shoe boxes full of gifts for Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. This year, our church filled 57 boxes.
Each Christmas season, during the morning worship service, the children and some adults perform a Christmas play . This is followed by a birthday party for Jesus.

The board organizes a game night for the church families where a meal is shared, board games are enjoyed, and everything is topped off with ice cream sundaes.

Each summer there is a Vacation Bible School offered for the children of the church as well as the children of the community. The Board of Christian Education members are involved in helping the Vacation Bible School coordinator to make this fun for everyone.

The board members also help to arrange a camping trip. Each summer, church members are invited to participate in a week-end camping trip with devotions and fellowship around the picnic tables and campfire in a forest by a lake.. This is a special time for all who attend.

Dominican Republic Mission

The United Baptist Church (UBC) of Topsham, Maine has been supporting and actively involved in the Good Samaritan Mission in LaRomana, Dominican Republic since it first sent nine members of the congregation in 1997.  Since then over twenty individuals from UBC have experienced the mission trip, many of them have experienced multiple trips and some have exceeded their tenth trip.

This mission that UBC supports was formally organized in 2001 as The Good Samaritan Mission Council, Inc.  It is a 501(c)(3) and is a Christian faith based ecumenical organization focused on supporting the programs and activities of the Haitian Mission Baptist Church and the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation in the city of LaRomana in the Dominican Republic.  The volunteers from UBC are part of a much larger group of over 2000 volunteers annually from the United States.  The work that each of these groups perform consists of construction, medical outreach and education.
