Let’s Go On Mission!

First Southern Baptist Church is committed to equipping our members to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We value cross cultural missions because we know the command from Jesus was clear in Acts 1:8. We want to help you follow Jesus by offering several times throughout the year to GO be a missionary, not just go on mission trips. Check out the opportunities to go and be sure to fill out the form to let us know you’re interested.
