Go


"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, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

-Matthew 28:19-20


First Baptist has a heart for missions! A passion for missions begins with the understanding that there exists “no fence around the charge” of the Great Commission. Mission work has many integrated words, such as inclusion, acceptance, partnership, compassion, humility, generosity, cooperation, gratitude, presence, financial resources, labor, purpose, and vision. All of these words find expression in the multiple missions efforts of FBC Athens.
