“Mission” is not a program the church does; it is “who we are” as we follow Jesus Sunday through Saturday.
“Mission” is not an alternative to “growing the church” - it is God’s plan and purpose for sharing the Good News of Jesus with every person on the planet . . . by His grace and for His glory.
If you know Jesus, it is because of God’s mission to you. You have been called to Him - you are being sent by Him. As believers, we have walked across the bridge God has built to reconcile us to Himself - now we are called to build bridges of relationship over which the Gospel can be transported to all who are separated from Him.
“Mission” is not a matter of local vs. global - it is all the work of God. The location is up to Him! Our pastor’s paraphrase of Jesus’ pronouncement in Acts 1:8 forms the framework for the doing of God’s mission:
“When you receive My Holy Spirit, you have everything you need to do what I have commanded: be My witnesses . . . here . . . not far from here . . . a long ways from here . . . and to the ends of the earth!”
Mission Giving
Designated gifts for specific mission needs and undesignated gifts for missions endeavors are distributed accurately and appropriately each year through the church Financial Office.
Our primary vehicle for giving - over and above the tithes and offerings that support our church operating budget - is the Annual Missions Offering. This special offering is generally collected in October of each year.
Two ways to give:
Online Giving
Missions Offering Envelope
State and Global Missions
Rio Grande Valley Mission
Texas Baptist World Hunger
Texas Baptist Men Disaster Relief
Blankets for Zacatecas
Zacatecas is a high-desert area of Mexico where the winters are extremely cold and the people are very poor. Through our partnership with Dr. Lee Baggett and Manos Hermanas, we are able to purchase blankets in Mexico for $5.00 each to be distributed to the people living there. We encourage everyone to be a part of this effort. These blankets make the difference between life or death for many people each winter. Please designate “Blankets” on your envelope to be sure it reaches the correct missions project fund.
