As stated in our vision and mission, we understand the calling of every local church to be concerned with the making and maturing of disciples. We seek to intentionally make disciples by reaching our:
Local Community
- Through Gospel Communities we seek to engage our neighbors and co-workers in everyday life.
- Through ministry partnership we labor with the Navigators and the BSU to reach the students of UCM
- Through community collaboration we serve the City of Warrensburg, the Parks & Recreation Department, and Warrensburg Main Street to bless our city through both annual events like BurgFest and semi-annual church-wide Serve Sundays
Region & Nation
- Through financial support of North American church planters
- Through partnerships and support of churches from the East Coast to the Rocky Mountains, including annual mission trips
World
- Through partnerships and mission trips with churches and ministries in:
Guatemala
FBC partners with Tabitha Ministry in Guatemala. Tabitha works predominantly with children and women living in the city dump of Guatemala in the most deplorable of conditions. The ministry providing quality Christian education to around 150 children along with food, clothing, and resources for medical needs. Moreover, Tabitha empowers and trains women to learn trades and skills providing meaningful, gainful employment. FBC partners with Tabitha through provision of resources and through strategic FBC mission trip teams working with Tabitha ministries in evangelistic VBS activities, leadership development of the teaching staff, and assistance with development of a second new location.
Additionally, FBC partners with local Guatemalan churches in church planting efforts through partnership with other Missouri Southern Baptist churches in sending short term mission teams. These teams provide medical care along with free medications, vision screenings and free reading glasses, children’s VBS activities, school visits, home visits and food distribution to families in need. These trips have assisted Guatemalan Baptist churches plant and grow new churches through the intentionality of locations and evangelistic nature of the trips.
The Balkans
FBC has a strong relationship with partners James and Katy and their teammates in the Balkans. Teams from FBC have gone in the past to provide English training, host baseball and football camps, themed outreach parties, support and encouragement, bible distribution, construction, and more.
