Who We Are:
Ministry’s Mission Statement:
“To Glorify God through loving service of our neighbors by the freedom we have through Christ’s salvation.” (Romans 11:36, 13:8-10, 1Cor. 6:20, Gal. 5:14, Matt. 22:36-40, John 8:36)
The vision of the Missions Ministry is to be engaged in activities which bring persons into a loving and regenerative relationship with Jesus Christ.
Many struggle to accept the salvation gift of God, until they have experienced the love of God. While it is understood that the salvation work is God’s alone, it is our call to disciple. Missions at BFMC therefore is focused on our local community and beyond.
‘Beyond’ has taken us to Ghana, Haiti, Ecuador, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, South Africa, Mississippi (Hurricane Katrina), and more!
