Ministries "Doing the King's Business in Kings
Mountain and Beyond" is a meaningful statement and an encouraging
challenge to our church. Our desire is that we faithfully share the Good News of
Jesus Christ not only here in our local community, but also around the
world. Our missions program is very important to our members and
leadership - this is clearly reflected in both our GIVING
and our GOING!
Our GIVING reflects a commitment
in our church budget to financially support the work of the Kings Mountain
Crisis Ministry, the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association, and also the
Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention. These efforts are
supported through the regular tithes and offerings given faithfully by our church
members. We also support seasonal mission offerings such as the Lottie Moon
Christmas Offering and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. *** The Blair
Williams Memorial Golf Tournament (yearly in September) and the Parade of Tables
(yearly in Spring) are special fundraisers that provide for our
Mission Readiness Program. It is through our Mission
Readiness Program that we are able to send any willing member of our
church on their first international mission trip - FREE! This is an amazing
offer to our church members.
Our church is committed to GOING
into all the world to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We have been able to
send mission teams to Honduras, Haiti, Indonesia, Romania, and Canada. Our
disaster relief teams go out on a regular basis to serve throughout the
southeastern United States. Two teams will be sent this year to Canada to
support the work of Tim & Andrea Whitesides and Southwinds Church. We send a
youth mission team every two years to San Ignacio, Honduras to help the work of
Chris & Donna Keeter. We look forward to the future of
MISSIONS here at First Baptist Church - as we seek to serve
here in Kings Mountain and also Beyond!
