Missions
Welcome to First Baptist Missions
Making His Name Great Among The Nations
God has graciously granted First Baptist the awesome privilege of carrying the gospel to the nations of the world. We have before us a tremendous opportunity to bring God glory as we go to places like East and West Africa, Kenya, East Asia, Thailand, India, South America, Baltimore, and East Tennessee.
Therefore, we will seek to follow Christ as He leads us into areas of His world where we can carry the gospel for the purpose of planting churches, and strengthening existing ones.
