Missions
First Baptist Church seeks to present the gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples of those in Garner, in North Carolina, in the United States and throughout the world according to Jesus' command in Matthew 28:18-20. We believe that His Holy Spirit will empower us, according to Acts 1:8, to accomplish this lifelong task.
Our church not only takes part in but also supports local and foreign missions through the Baptist State Convention, the North American Mission Board, and the International Mission Board.
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I ahve commanded you. And behold, I am with you alsways, to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:18-20)
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,k and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
