One of the foundational purposes for the church's existence is to help fulfill the Great Commission. Starting here in the Myrtle Beach area, our goal is to work and help others work to fulfill the goal that Jesus set before us.
Missions Ministries here at First Baptist Church, Surfside Beach, includes our children, youth and adults through AWANA, Men's Ministries and WMU. These programs help our people be aware of, learn more about, and DO missions. Youth and Adults engage in practical missions through local, monthly mission activity, Home Mission Trips, and mission trips around the world.
In addition to our state and convention mission support, our church directly supports a missionary family serving on the foreign field. We have already begun plans for future mission activities and trips. We would like to get to know you better, or answer your questions concerning our church or its mission emphasis. You can find out more about our other ministries by clicking on any of the links to the left, or by any of the ways listed below. Before you leave, please sign our online guestbook. Thanks.
