Mission

At First Baptist Church we believe that missions is more than just supporting our overseas missionaries or giving money to do mission work.  We are a church that seeks to be missional in everything that we do.  For us that means that we are each called to be missionaries wherever we are.  Our church acts as a gathering place where we can be challenged, equipped, and encouraged to go back out into our mission field.

Our Missions Team finds many opportunities for us to give of our time and our money throughout the year in order to support missions.  We give through the ABC/USA to support our many missionaries and ministers through our four annual drives.  These are the America for Christ offering, One Great Hour of Sharing, World Mission Offering, and the Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering.  We are also involved in supporting White Cross and Operation Christmas Child during Christmas time.

We support Christian higher education through the many Baptist colleges and seminaries we give financial support to.

And locally, we support Fellowship Cup through food drives, volunteering, and other gifts.  We support our local Christian School, and are very active in the life of our Forest Lake Camp.
