local missions

FBC has the honor of partnering financially, praying for, and serving a number of local ministries, which seek to proclaim the Gospel, encourage and speak life into people wherever they are in life. Some of the ministries we support are:  Hart's Closet, Outreach East, Carriage Town Ministries, Camp Lael, and Pregnancy Resource Center of Flint.

  • hart's closet

    Founded by Jessica Hart, a park ranger with the Genesee County Sheriff's Department, Hart’s Closet is to a non-profit organization that helps homeless children and those transitioning into foster care. They provide clothing, toys, hygiene products and similar items in a store-like setting, right here at First Baptist Church! We are happy to partner with them as they help families in need.

  • outreach east

    Outreach East is a non-denominational, walk-in, year-round emergency resource center dedicated to assisting area individuals and families with food and other essentials. Established in 1990, Outreach services Goodrich, Davison, and Otisville, Michigan. Supported by the generosity of the community through local individuals, churches, businesses and clubs, Outreach East is able to reach out and help meet some of the basic needs of area families.


    We are happy to have Outreach East run their Christmas Sponsor-a-Child program here at First Baptist Church!

  • carriage town ministries

    Far more than "just" a shelter, CTM provides vital life training and education.  Our clients are given a Personal Success Plan (PSP) that helps them establish not just goals, but also a plan for achieving those goals.  Every person we serve has a unique story and unique set of needs.  Our prayer is for great change to take place in the hearts and lives of all who come to CTM.

international missions

As a church, we invest in God's mission across the globe through a number of organizations and missionary families. We unite in prayer, financially, and at times we are able to provide physical support through mission trips and/or gathering goods and supplies to ship overseas.  Here's some ways you can invest in God's mission with us:

  • son international

    Missionaries working with SON International serve  neighbors through community development initiatives, by sharing the love of Jesus Christ while establishing relationships, educating, and improving the standard of living for those that are unreached by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to open doors for the Gospel to all who will listen, while Serving Our Neighbor.

  • send international

    About 1/3 of the world’s population lives outside the reach of the local church—they have no opportunity to hear the gospel. SEND International, an evangelical mission, mobilizes missionaries to engage them with the gospel and establish reproducing churches.

  • okipe

    Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere.  La Gonave is an island, about 10 miles by 30 miles in size, where approximately 120,000 Haitians reside. Many years ago, La Gonave was used as the place where “undesirables” were sent from the mainland… criminals, the sick, the elderly…  Haiti is poor and broken… La Gonave became the place one could find “the least of these”.

    Today, a new story is unfolding…  One of these stories is taking place in a small orphanage called, “The Jesus Home for Children of La Gonave”.  You can be a part of this story today!  Together, we can help give “the least of these” a future and a hope.
