Prattmont Baptist Church is a Baptist congregation at 814 Smith Ave. in Prattville, Alabama. It is known for a discipleship-centered ministry built around worship, Bible study, small groups, a shared Wednesday meal, and gatherings for children, students, men, women, seniors, and boys with dads. The church states its aim plainly: “Be discipled, make disciples who make disciples,” a line drawn from Matthew 28:19-20, and calls people to be interested in what God is interested in: “PEOPLE.”
Five Purposes Shape the Ministry
The work of Prattmont’s ministries is summarized with five words: evangelize, disciple, fellowship, minister and worship. Those purposes appear throughout the church’s regular activities. Bible study and children’s lessons emphasize discipleship. Small groups, shared meals and senior gatherings create settings for fellowship. The men’s and women’s ministries focus on living out faith and serving people, while music carries a central place in worship.
Prattmont places particular importance on music as worship. It describes music as a key ingredient that brings a congregation into the presence of the Holy God. Its vision is for worship to be a catalyst for awakening among God’s people and for renewal that brings them to their full potential as His people in Christ.
Sunday Worship at 9:15, Classes at 10:45
The Sunday rhythm begins with Morning Worship at 9:15 a.m. At 10:45 a.m., Sunday School and Small Groups meet. The church describes its preschool and children’s Sunday School as active learning: games, fun activities and Bible truth are combined so children can participate and remember what they learn. Small Groups also serve as a regular place to turn in offerings.
The worship vision centers on what happens in the congregation: encountering God through music, being awakened and being renewed as people in Christ. That emphasis supports the church’s wider aim of forming disciples who continue the process themselves.
Wednesday Begins With a Shared Meal
Wednesday Night Meal starts at 5:15 p.m. At 6:00 p.m., Midweek Bible Study and Student and Children Ministry meet. The meal gives the church’s midweek rhythm a shared beginning before the evening’s study and age-specific gatherings.
Children’s Wednesday programming continues the active approach used in Sunday School, with games, fun activities and Bible truth. The student gathering has a specific purpose: to help students learn and grow in their walk with Jesus so they can face the pressures of the world.
Men’s Small Groups and Devoted Women
The men’s ministry seeks to empower and equip men to live out their faith in Jesus Christ and to impact their families, jobs and communities. Prattmont says that when men are transformed by the gospel, the ripple effect is felt by everyone around them. Men’s Small Groups meet on various days so participants can find a group that fits their schedules.
Devoted Women’s stated mission is to reach all women with the gospel of Jesus Christ, equip women to live as women of faith and provide opportunities to serve God. The ministry seeks to do that through Bible study, fellowship, prayer, worship and service, with a desire to serve women both locally and internationally with God’s love and grace. Women’s Bible Study meets on Monday nights from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Senior Fellowship and Boys-and-Dads Outdoors
Senior adults meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. Their gathering includes a potluck meal and programs of interest, combining fellowship with planned activities for the group.
The boys-and-dads ministry is open to both boys and dads and meets for outdoor fun with a time of Biblical devotion. Each meeting centers on an object lesson from the Bible. That approach is intended to help boys learn and remember Scripture as well as truths about the world around them.
Giving as an Act of Worship
Prattmont teaches that giving is part of worship for followers of Christ. It describes cheerful, sacrificial giving as an act that blesses the giver as much as the receiver, citing 2 Corinthians 9:6-7. The church points to the death and resurrection of Jesus as the greatest expression of generosity and says its own generosity is a response to God’s prior love and gift.
There are several regular ways to give:
- Place a gift in an offering basket during Morning Worship, or turn it in during a Small Group or Sunday School class.
- For a tax deduction on a cash gift, use an offering envelope with the giver’s name and address. Envelopes are available in the foyer and in pew racks.
- Mail a contribution to the church office at 814 Smith Ave., Prattville, AL 36067.
- Give online by bank transfer or debit card as a one-time gift or a recurring donation.
The church’s giving options cover both in-person and online gifts, including recurring support.
