Missions and organizations supported by First Baptist Church of Jackson

Missions Women's League	Missions "Mission" is a wide-ranging concept. It implies all the varied work we undertake as individuals, churches and organizations in applying our faith and in sharing the Gospel message with others. Mission is an awesome invitation and responsibility, and an endeavor that can never be exhausted. We undertake it realizing that only with God's help can the immense task of Christian mission be accomplished.  First Baptist supports, through participation and monetary giving, those activities that address human needs of our community in conjunction with other local churches. A few ways to be involved in mission work include the following:  Local Level Share space with Downtown (AA) Group Working the food pantry at Immanuel Lutheran Church Collecting school supplies for the AWARE Shelter each fall Ongoing financial support to both above Preparing Christmas Baskets for families in Jackson County  World-Wide Operation Christmas Child - Shoeboxes are collected and filled with candy, toys, clothing, etc., throughout the year and then shipped overseas to children in other countries.
