Fundraising Committee (FRC) Coordinators: Curby Key & Peggy Leggett
Our 2020 newly-formed Fundraising Committee Ministry gives all of us an opportunity to demonstrate our concern and financial support for doing the Lord’s work. With your help, our first fundraiser, “Fat Tuesday Pancake Supper &
Raffle”, was a delightful and delicious success.
The people had a mind to work!
Women On Mission (WOM) Director: Becky Story
WOM’s purpose is to serve others in our church, community, and in the world. We meet to pray for missionaries serving diverse areas and to pray for our homebound members. We show others the love of Jesus through visits, cards and phone calls. We actively participate in various mission projects throughout the year.
Come join us!
Mission & Outreach (M&O) Director: Brenda Long
M&O strives to share God’s love with everyone. We reach out to our community thru food and school supply programs for our children, teachers and staff; by helping at the Children’s Home; by holding an annual Easter Egg Hunt and Halloween event; and by partnering with the town through their seasonal events.
All are welcome!
Baptist Men (BMC) Director: Gene Knight
The Baptist Men’s group is for any man willing to serve others. Our purpose is to show others the love of Jesus through ministry projects. We meet quarterly for a meal and a program. Our “Adopt-A-
Neighbor” program helps someone in our church or community who has a special need.
Come, let us do it, together!
