Missions

A group of Baptist churches on the Peninsula who partner together to support numerous mission endeavors. A current focus of this partnership is racial dialogue and friendship between black and white congregations.

We partner with THRIVE because we share their passion for helping neighbors in need grow hopeful, self-sustaining lives. Find out more about THRIVE at http://thrivepeninsula.org.

Since our church values young adults, partnering with various ministries and sports teams at Christopher Newport University is important for us. We support Baptist Campus Ministry, Intervarsity, the football team and facilitate multiple connections between CNU and our congregation.

We support LINK of Hampton Roads and United Way First Call by providing a food pantry for emergency food distribution. Each week, our church provides 35-40 orders of non-perishable food for families in need. In addition, we participate in the winter PORT (People Offering Resources Together) ministry where homeless individuals are housed in our facilities one week per winter. PORT is one of the many programs of LINK, a non-profit organization on the Virginia Peninsula.

As our across the street neighbor, we offer our support and love to the faculty, parents and students of Yates Elementary. To date, we have done campus beautification projects, held school supply drives, fed breakfast to the faculty, and provided backpacks and supplies for children in need. We look forward to the expansion of our partnership in the days ahead.

For nearly 25 years, our church has partnered with Hungarian Pastor Veress Ernő and Camp Hargita, a Christian camp nestled in the Transylvania area of Romania.

Each year during the Christmas season, our church invests in the themes of the Advent Conspiracy: Worship fully, Spend less, Give more, Love all. By spending less on the “stuff” of Christmas, we invest in helping others who are in need. In 2015, as a result of Advent Conspiracy, we built six wells in Andhra Pradesh, India and helped THRIVE Peninsula retool their computer system. In 2018, we partnered with International Cooperating Ministries to build a church in Romania; collected donations of diapers and baby items for Alcove Health, a non-profit women’s clinic; and collected offerings for Lottie Moon with Southern Baptist Convention and Global Missions with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.

We believe that done appropriately, short-term mission trips are a vital part of “Equipping Christ-Followers.” Every other year, our church engages in a short term mission trip to work with our partners in Romania. In July of 2017, a group from our church participated in a mission immersion experience with Iglesia Bautista Metropolis in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
