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.

VOLUNTEER NEEDS at Sedgefield Middle School
Our tree of awareness grows ribbons as a result of kids who come out of middle school unprepared for high school. It is a critical time in the educational journey that they make.
There are several ways for you to plug in. Click on the document link here.

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.
For more information, contact Cheri Lindblom, Interim Director of Missions, 704-334-7232, ext 46. Or email her at clindblom@mpbconline.org |
