Agape Women on Mission: Agape Women is a missions-minded women’s group that focuses on mission activities and prayer support for local missions as well as our missionaries around the world. Agape Women engage in several annual and many on-going mission projects including a children clothes closet, an Appalachian Children’s Christmas outreach, Operation Christmas Child, and more.

FBC has developed a partnership with one of our local elementary schools. Each week, we discreetly provide backpacks to 26 children who live in food insecure homes. These packs are filled with enough food to feed a child through the weekend.

FBC has two major Christmas mission projects. We work with Baptists on Mission to fill backpacks with items for underprivileged children in the coal fields of the Appalachians. We also work with Samaritan's Purse on Operation Christmas Child. Our goal for both of our Christmas mission projects is to share the love of Christ by sending much-needed items to children around the world who are affected by poverty, war, natural disasters, famine, and disease.

Join us as we partner with the Morrowtown Community Group and other members of our community in helping to create the Morrowtown Community Garden. This garden is in our neighborhood on an acre lot at the corner of S. Mebane Street and Clay Street, just a couple of blocks down from our church.

This ministry began in 2017 with the hope of effectively feeding, mentoring, educating, and ministering to the children and families of the Tucker Street public housing and Morrow Town communities.

Our members regularly work to feed, resource, and engage children in our neighborhood. We offer tutoring programs, outings, food and activities. On Sundays, our bus to picks up our children from Tucker Street and brings them to our church where they participate in Worship and Bible Study.

Our church has effectively partnered with other agencies in the community, including the Morrow Town Task Force, Alamance Achieves, and Alamance Citizens for a Drug Free Community to become one of the frontline providers in many areas of need. Our hope is to help the children in our community thrive in the abundant life has for them.

FBC has developed a partnership with Elon University to serve international students. Our international students are a long way from home! We work to make them feel at home in Burlington. We connect with them, host events for them, and encourage them.

This name is short for Knitting Witnesses. This Sunday afternoon knitting group is for people of all ages and abilities. They knit baby caps and prayer shawls for people in our community. Don’t know how to knit? No problem. We will teach you!

Men On Missions exists to help those who can no longer help themselves. The MOM projects include changing light bulbs, transporting church members to medical appointments, yard work, painting, minor home improvements, moving furniture, cleaning gutters, repairing or painting, building handicapped ramps and porches for the disabled, minor plumbing, repairing door locks, trimming trees, loaning a variety of handicapped wheelchairs, walkers and beds to those in need, shoveling snow, installing handrails, and other requests.

FBC has missionaries in many parts of the world who are actively seeking to help those in need and to share the love of Christ. We fund, pray for, and work in various ways to support our members and others who are called to mission work. FBC also gives funding to support the mission programs and initiatives of the CBF and SBC.

In our Thrive Tutoring program we work with students from Grove Park Elementary school to help increase their reading skills. Each child receives a personal tutor who works with him or her each week. Our tutors work to build meaningful relations, to teach and encourage students and to share the love of Christ. Our hope is to help these children thrive in God’s abundant life!

Our WMU (Woman’s Missionary Union) has been a significant part of the missions and ministries of FBC for many years. WMU offers many mission opportunities to our membership throughout the year including our annual Annie Armstrong, Global Missions, and Lottie Moon Offerings. Our Agape Women On Mission host an annual school supply collection to support our teachers. We also provide mission education to children with RA’s and GA’s.
