Abbeville Presbyterian Church 

Missions Overview 2017 

 
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, 
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.                     Matthew 5:16 
  
The members of Abbeville Presbyterian Church support mission outreach to share Christ’s love in upstate South Carolina
