Missions

At First Baptist we believe that everyone has a role when it comes to missions--whether it is praying, giving, or going or maybe all three!

Praying:

Join us in praying for the glory of God's name to spread throughout the world, for missionaries and their ministries thoughout the country and the world as well as praying for those involved in specific crisis's like the recent catastrophes in Haiti and Chile.

Together may we say "Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory because of your love and faithfulness." (Psalm 115:1)
