Local Missions

 Whether it's across town or around the world, we want to equip everyone at FBC to fulfill the Great Commission!  When it comes to serving locally or globally, it's not either/or, but both/and!  Look around on our page and find a place to "GO"!  You can also visit "missions wall" at FBC and find lots of great information about missions opportunities.

You don't have to go far to find a mission.  We are all called to be missionaries right where we are.  Texarkana has many needs for your service. Listed below are many of the local ministries we currently have at FBC for you to plug into.
