Missions
Christ's love for us compels us to share that love with others. At CABC, we want every member to be a minister. We want to help you match your talents and passions with someone's needs. Along with many opportunities for service within our church, we support missionaries in our community and around the world. Ongoing mission projects include partnerships with 17th Street Baptist Community Center, the Rescue Mission, Feeding America Food Bank, HopeTree Family Services, and Manna Ministries. Each summer, we take an intergenerational mission trip, leading Vacation Bible School, doing home repairs, and attempting to meet the needs shared with us. Our mission efforts are supported in part by our semi-annual garage and bake sale, held the first weekends of October and May.
Intergenerational Mission trip 2019: Atlanta, GA
We’ll be going to the Grant Park area of Atlanta on July 21-26. We will be staying at Lydia’s House, a ministry of Park Avenue Baptist Church which provides housing (including beds and air conditioning!) for mission teams serving in the area. We will also be taking part in their urban immersion mission experience, learning about racial justice, issues of immigration and refugee resettlement, and child poverty. We will serving alongside local organizations, such as The Stewart Center, serving meals and working with children and helping some of the families they minister alongside with some minor home repair or landscaping. This is an intergenerational trip, so adults of all ages, youth, and children are encouraged to be a part of the team (preschool and elementary school children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
What We Believe About Missions
As a sign of God's love for us, we commit to reaching out to those in difficult circumstances with love and compassion, helping to meet their physical and spiritual needs. By helping others, whether or not they are a part of our community of faith, we show to the world the actions of a loving Christ.
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. 1 John 3:17-18
