Mission & Outreach covers a wide range of issues, causes, and concerns beyond the walls of First Baptist Church of Moorestown. The work and priorities of the ministry team are guided by Jesus’ teaching; helping the poor, oppressed, and marginalized in our society... or, 'the least of these.'
The team takes responsibility for encouraging support for a variety of organizations within and outside the family of American Baptists. We also promote participation in important efforts for peace and justice in our world. Each month of the year, members of the congregation will be made more aware of a different specific mission and invited, if they so choose, to contributemoney (or, in a few instances, donate needed products) in support of that collection, project, or organization. These missions or benevolences will likely include the following:
America for Christ (ABC/USA Domestic Ministries)
Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists
One Great Hour of Sharing (ABC/USA & Church World Services) Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America (BPFNA) Covenant House CROP Walk for Hunger (Moorestown)
Moorestown Ecumenical Neighborhood Development (MEND)
Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering (ABC/USA)
Riverview Estates
World Missions Offerings (ABC/USA International Ministries)
