Missions to Change Eternity

Missions as a Value @ Wright Baptist Church

     Wright Baptist Church puts a priority on missions – both doing and supporting. Hearing well Jesus' words, we aim to be witnesses locally, regionally, and globally (Acts 1:8).

      We also using different talents and personalities and skills and abilities do seek to take Jesus' message to the world and make disciples of all nations (Jesus - Matthew 28:19-20).

      At Wright, you'll find we work with both Southern Baptist and independent Christian groups also for caring for people, sharing the Gospel of Jesus, and placing light where there is lostness today.

      And in the effort to minister to people from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances, missions takes a variety of forms at Wright.

      Just as some highlights, our commitment to missions include an Acts 1:8 verse focus on our callings: so it is local,  it is regional, and includes going and sending to the ends of the earth.

Regionally...

     We support the work of the Florida Baptist Convention and other regional partners.

      In Florida with disaster relief and church starting, we also are able to do work with chaplains/teams/missionaries of the North American Mission Board. This impacts for good in our home state and throughout North America, through those teams.

     WBC has connections to ministry also in South Florida, through the Florida Baptists and the North American Mission Board namb.org .

     Many members support missionary team work in other ministries that touch the Florida panhandle, from Panama City over to Pensacola, to Crestview. Some are nearby in Fort Walton Beach, etc.

     Wright plans trips and groups have the privilege to share God's love and to share the Good News of Christ. This can include while ministering to people's other needs as well, in service. See us Sundays for more detailed info and to offer to help in God's kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8).

Globally...

     There are several international missions trips that are organized or partnerships of Wright Baptist Church. Come join us in this great effort through several partner organizations.

     Also, a helpful part of the SBC, is teamwork access to more than 3500 global missionaries. Those are commissioned by the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). As an SBC church, we support the taking of the gospel to more than 120 countries around the world. This also opens doors to going if one is so led with a team.

     By attending and giving you lend financial support of their work, through the Cooperative Program of the SBC, enables these men and women to serve.

     There are also other special seasonal (Christmas/Easter as examples) member giving opportunities, such as, the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, that go 100% to global IMB missions work and relief efforts. To explore their work, see: www.imb.org

Locally...

Get Started with Missions?

When somebody mentions "missions," yes, we all have a preset idea of that culturally.

However, missions work takes a lot of forms. We believe Jesus valued missions and shared that value with us, Matthew 28:19-20. This is because the LORD wants all the earth to know about salvation and the love of Christ, Psalm 96:1-13.

 Yes, at first, missions trips or praying for missions or giving, it may seem far out or odd for God. But in fact, sharing your testimony of all God has done for you in Christ, serving those in need, providing relief, or doing simple acts of kindness in disaster relief, and more, fit into missions work.

No matter your place in life, or spiritual maturity level, there's a way to value missions, that fits who God has made you to be. We invite you to join us, in making an impact in real lives, for the Lord.
