The Outreach Ministry also offers opportunities that engage with The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts and their sponsored organizations.

Hospitality is the welcoming of people both within and outside the congregation. Visitation The Outreach Ministry regularly contacts the sick and shut-ins, the inactive and prospective new members. Visits include home communion to the homebound monthly and to care for the needy and distressed members of the congregation.
