First Baptist partners with ten Global Missionaries and seven Campus Ministers who are reaching students at five college campuses around New England, helping girls out of prostitution in Thailand, translating Scripture for people in Mozambique, improving public health in Darfur, teaching agricultural development in Congo, and much more. Most of our mission partners have been sent from our church.
Each of our mission partners serves with a Christian mission. We commission our missionaries as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission following the model found in Acts 13 where Paul and Barnabas were sent as missionaries in response to the calling of the Spirit and with the partnership of the church. As a sending church we have the privilege and responsibility of supporting each mission partner with prayer, encouragement, and financial resources.
Our church reaches out to people in our community and among the nations to bring spiritual hope, church planting, relief aid and social justice that reflects God's beauty. We are dedicated to mobilizing resources (prayer, money, possessions, people) for God's work here in the Amherst community and around the world.
Mission teams from our church family also participate in short-term mission trips to spread the Gospel, meet needs, and grow through the experience. We find that ministries thousands of miles away become part of our own lives. Through e-mail correspondence, prayer support, mission trips, digital images, and partnerships, the world becomes our mission field.
