Missions

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.

Matthew 28:19

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
FBC Goal: $10,000

You can transform lives by ensuring missionaries can take the gospel to unreached people every day. When you give towards Lottie Moon, you’re joining millions of other Christians who have committed to advancing God’s Kingdom. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is an annual offering collected by Southern Baptists to support international missions. The offering was officially named in 1918 by Woman’s Missionary Union in honor of the missionary to China who urged churches to start it and give sacrificially.

When you give today you:
  • ensure that every dollar you give goes directly to the mission field
  • free missionaries from the burden of fundraising and allow them to stay in the field 100% of the time
  • offer extensive cross cultural training and comprehensive support to our missionaries
  • bring tangible help through medical supplies, clean water, and the life-transforming message of the gospel to thousands.

Will you give a gift of any amount today to ensure that those who do not yet know the name of Jesus will experience His love and learn to know Him well?
Mission has long been a vital part of the First Baptist Church community. Whether making quilts and blankets for survivors of local disasters or filling Christmas shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, we are always trying to help those less fortunate -- showing them Christ's love through our actions.

Over the years, we have supplied blankets and personal care kits to the Sevier County Fires of 2016 victims. We have sent thousands of shoeboxes to other countries via Samaritan's Purse's Operation Christmas Child. We routinely assist with food and gas for those passing through our area.

We are blessed with the opportunity to minister to thousands of people as they visit Pigeon Forge and the Smokies. Many regular visitors to this area worship with us whenever they are in town. They have become part of our church family, although they live far away.
