MISSION TRIPS

Interested in joining our mission trips? Contact Howie Hooper, Minister of Missions Engagement, (hhooper@firstbaptistcolumbusga.com) or by calling him through the church office. Our Missions Ministry is a vital part of First Baptist Church, reflecting our mission statement to love none more than Christ and love others as ourselves. We believe in active engagement, whether through international projects in countries like Cuba and Guatemala or regional efforts across the United States.

FOOD MINISTRIES

At First Baptist Church, we're dedicated to combating food insecurity in our community. Our Food Closet and Victory Mission Food Pantry have served as a cornerstone of our outreach for nearly four decades, offering nutritious food items to individuals and families. In addition to our pantry, we organize community meals, conduct food drives, and collaborate with local organizations to maximize our impact. You can help by volunteering, donating supplies, or spreading awareness.


Contact Howie Hooper (hhooper@firstbaptistcolumbusga.com) to learn more about getting involved in our food missions and making a difference in the fight against hunger.
