We are committed to an Acts 1:8 strategy as we look beyond the walls of our church. Listed below are some of the missions and ministries that we are currently involved in or have plans to participate in during the year.


Our Jerusalem . . . Ascension Parish
     We have a commitment to fulfill Christ’s mission LOCALLY. With the reputation of Christ at stake, we want to represent Him to our community. Through various ministries of our Church, we want to minister in His name within our own Jerusalem.
     From the overflow of Jesus Christ in our lives, we are privileged to joyfully fulfill our responsibilities as a local church through the ministries of FBC to our community until all have the opportunity to be reconciled to God and made disciples of Christ by the living, active, penetrating Word of God. “Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).
     We attempt to accomplish this by “conducting ourselves with wisdom toward outsiders…making the most of our opportunities” (Col. 4:4). We are challenged to “let our light shine before men that they may see our good deeds and praise our Father in heaven” (Matt. 5:16).

Our Judea . . . Baton Rouge and the State of Louisiana

     ~ Hurricane Relief
     ~ International Students
     ~ Prison Ministry


Our Samaria . . . North America
     To be open to start new works or support other like-hearted churches who need assistance in reaching their local communities so that their local communities can have opportunity to be reconciled to God and made disciples of Christ for the Glory of God. There are some areas in our nation that have churches with limited personnel and resources. We desire to build a relationship with these churches to offer encouragement and provide them with additional resources to aid them in fulfilling their ministry.

     ~ Northern U.S.
     ~ Mexico


Our Uttermost . . . Everywhere Else!
     Involving our church in a “Church Start” in an area where no New Testament Church is available or coming alongside other Churches with limited resources to reach their peoples with the Gospel. To see a church established where one does not presently exist for the Glory of God. We are a Southern Baptist Church and we give to the Cooperative Program which supports over 10,000 missionaries throughout the world. Throughout the year, we have mission offerings which go to supporting these missionaries. We have adopted a people group in the 10/40 window as our unreached people group focus. We want to challenge our congregation to be world Christians with a heart to obey Christ’s Commission with an eye on the world.
