MISSIONS/MINISTRIES

A Church exists through missions as a fire exists through burning. First Baptist is a Great Commission Church. We believe in, pray for, give to, and go serve in missions. Our mission involvement is listed below. Whether local, national, or around the world our members participate. Without apology we present Christ as the answer for our changing times.

Opportunities for mission involvement at First Baptist:

  • Mission Offerings – We give offerings to international missions through the Lottie Moon Offering of the Southern Baptist Convention and to North American Missions through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Additional mission offerings are given to our Tennessee Baptist Convention.

  • Local Missions – FBC Loves Fairview: Teams of youth and adults go into the Fairview community to assist the elderly and needy with clean up and renovations to their homes. First Baptist provides Thanksgiving Baskets for the needy, and works with Habitat for Humanity to build houses in our community.
