Missions

 

Missions development begins with each believer at the moment of conversion. We are called to take the Gospel of Christ to our family, our neighbor, and our friend… even those friends and neighbors we have yet to meet. Missions at First Baptist starts early on with teaching our children what a missionary is and what they do. We are a church that supports thousands of missionaries all over the world through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention.

 

As our children learn about missions, we are also sharing with them the "why" of missions… through sharing the truth of God's word. Missions involvement is a commitment we have to our Lord and to those in our community, state, nation, and world. We are committed to developing our membership and encouraging them to completely follow the Lord as He leads them to be personally involved in missions here in the community as well as in lands far away.
