Missions

First Baptist Church is on Mission! For more than 140 years we have generously given, consistently prayed, and joyously participated in missional ministry.

Our primary relationship for global missions is through American Baptist Churches of the USA and American Baptist Churches of Nebraska. Our regular gifts through the United Mission of American Baptists are supplemented by special offerings for International Missions, America for Christ, One Great Hour of Sharing and Retired Ministers and Missionaries.

Although we are thankful to give in support of missional work around the world, we also find great joy in hands-on participation in mission projects. Recent opportunities have included:

Regular volunteer weeks with Child Evangelism Fellowship in Missouri

Adults on mission with CityGate Ministries of Washington, D.C.

Youth on mission to New Orleans, LA, with Passport: Youth With a Mission and

CityGate Ministries of Washington D.C.

Mission information excursions to Alaska and the Czech Republic

Individuals on summer missions to Yellowstone National Park and Helena, Arkansas

Closer to home, we continue ongoing relationships through volunteers, prayers and financial support with:
