Missions Work at Myers Park Baptist Church

The Board of Missions nurtures, supports, and encourages the mission ministry of the church. It is the Board's task to: develop, clarify, and affirm our theological foundation for mission ministry; explore how our Biblical heritage is relevant to our time; discover how our faith calls us to action; and discern, define, and implement mission opportunities that demonstrate Christian love and a commitment to justice.

Lakewood Neighborhood Partnership

For 20 years Myers Park Baptist and Faith Memorial Baptist have partnered in a unique community building effort – facilitating the revitalization of the distressed, low-income, inner-city neighborhood of Lakewood in northwest Charlotte. Dramatic results have occurred but challenges abound. Volunteers are deeply enriched by sharing experiences with and giving hope and encouragement to families struggling to improve the quality of their lives and their neighborhood. The difficulties that arise daily in the lives of MPBC families also arise – often with multiplied impact – in the lives of Lakewood families. Entry points for involvement are found in the three neighborhood-based organizations listed below. Each organization has varied opportunities for getting engaged and making a difference. Anyone willing to walk with and work beside a Lakewood resident is welcome to share in the joy.
