Partnership: The Heart of Missions at FBC
God has led our church family to embrace an Acts 1:8 strategy for missions partnerships. Our goal is to join Christ where He is working locally, nationally and around the world and to serve our partners through long-term agreements that advance the Gospel and the Kingdom of Christ.
To accomplish this goal we partner with specific gospel-minded organizations locally and missionaries both nationally and internationally.
Aside from these specific partnerships, we also give cooperatively to the Southern Baptist Convention to send missionaries internationally and support church plants and mission work at the local and national level.
