Missions Ministries

uganda 1For over 100 years, we have been committed to fulfilling the great commission of Jesus to, “go and make disciples of all the nations.”

We desire to see God’s Word have a world-wide impact by encouraging and facilitating members serving on short term mission trips, mentoring those who desire to serve in full time ministry, and to send and support those who obey God’s call to full time ministry.

We support full time missionaries and organizations around the world in prayer, finances, and encouragement.

Compassionate Care Ministries

  • careFamine Relief: In September 2009, FBC took a special offering to assist central African Christians in a desperate time of famine. Those families then shared their food with neighboring villages. Their sacrifice resulted in local pastors planting two new churches. In April, 88 new believers were baptized.
  • Clean Water: In 2010, FBC sponsored the digging of a deep well to provide clean, safe drinking water for thousands living in central Africa.
  • Orphan & Street Kids—several times a year, ministry teams travel across the border into Mexico to minister to children. Our teams work with three organizations to meet physical needs, serve meals to kids, and support an orphanage with building supplies, clothes, and encouragement.
