It is our goal at First Baptist to be actively involved in missions. Our goal is to be a church that not only talks about missions and financially supports missions, rather one that does missions! We want to put our hands and feet in the street telling others about our savoir. We offer many different opportunities for those who want to serve, Care and Share, World Changers, local and trips abroad  are just a few of the exciting ways to serve. Ask today how you can help make First Baptist and yourself a Acts 1:8 church.

This is just a quick look at a few things we did last year. The coming years look to be even better! As we get out of our comfort zone it is time to give and do missions.

I want to challenge you in 2010-11 to be “HANDS ON” lets apply our giving hearts with helping hands and make missions a reality not only in our giving but in what we do and how we live.
