MISSIONS
Missions is the heartbeat of First Baptist Church. We support missions through our prayers, missions education (Women/Men on Missions, GAs, RAs and Mission Friends), giving through the Cooperative Program and mission offerings and personal involvement.
Local Missions
FBCLC members are involved in a number of missions partnerships including Ford Street Baptist Mission, Grace Ministries, ESSA Food Pantry, ABC Crisis Pregnancy Center, Friendships, Habitat for Humanity, and Rebuilding Together.
National & International Missions
Our members are also personally involved in national and international missions through long-term partnerships and short-term mission trips. Over the past several years teams and individuals from FBCLC have traveled to New Orleans, Germany, Fort Worth, Urkaine, Honduras, Colorado, Brazil, Peru, Columbia and Angola State Prison.
Disaster Relief
Many of our members have been trained to participate in Southern Baptist's Disaster Relief efforts. During Hurricances Katrinia, Rita and Gustav, teams from our church helped feed evacuees, distribute clothing, cleaned up debris and provided lodging and meals for hundreds of SBC Disaster Relief volunteers. During Hurricane Rita, SBC Disaster Relief teams housed at FBCLC and teams from our church assisted over 600 families with debris removal, tarps and general cleanup.
