Global Missions

Missions is the heartbeat of Albertville FBC!

We take seriously the call of God to make disciples in our city, state, nation and the world.
We encourage all attenders to be on mission by praying, giving and going.

Pray

Each Sunday we announce a Missionary of the Week to pray for.
Each quarter, we produce a missions prayer guide with specific requests from each of our partners. (Due to the security risks associated with a few of our partners, these guides are not available online. Printed copies are available throughout our campus.)

Give

There are three primary ways to support mission causes through First Baptist Church:

1. When you give to the General Ministry Budget of Albertville FBC, we invest 10% of every dollar given to the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention and its mission programs. These funds are used by the Alabama State Board of Missions, The North American Mission Board and the International Mission Board to fund over 6,000 missionaries around the world.
An additional $64,000 is budgeted for local mission projects and partners.

2.  All FBC attenders are encouraged to participate in our ongoing mission strategy:  Advance 2025. Through the Advance 2025 Fund we provide monthly support for 6 local partners, 3 national partners, and 11 international partners.

3. A number of people in our faith family provide individual support for our mission partners. We are happy to help connect you to partners upon your request.

Go

Each year, hundreds of volunteers from FBC serve in local missions and dozens of volunteers serve in  national or international missions. 
Various opportunities are provided on a regular basis.
