Sharing Christ's Love Through Global and Local Missions

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

First Baptist Church Marion is committed to fulfilling Christ’s command by sharing the Good News across the globe. We proudly collaborate with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship North Carolina, as well as regional partners like the Western North Carolina Baptist Fellowship. Locally, we engage with Mission Ministries Alliance and Freedom Life Ministries to make a tangible impact in our community.

Our partnerships enable us to extend our reach and effectiveness in mission work, ensuring that we can provide support and resources where they are most needed. Through these collaborations, we strive to embody the love of Christ in every endeavor, from local initiatives to international outreach.
