Missions

First Baptist Church believes in an Acts 1:8 approach to missions.  That is, we focus missions efforts first in our town, next to our state, then to other regions of our country, and finally to the farthest reaches of the world.

Missions as a part of the whole church ministry are carried out by all members of the church in many different ways.  If you have specific questions about how to become involved in the missions efforts currently being undertaken by FBC, please contact pastor Rich - rclee76@gmail.com.
