Mission News and Community Outreach Ministries
Mission’s giving and active involvement in local missions is a major focus at West Bowdoin Baptist Church. Both through our denomination, American Baptist Churches, and in cooperation with other churches and organizations locally. We are answering our Lord’s call to meet the needs of all people. These needs are spiritual, physical and societal and we attempt to meet these needs through the following:
-
Joyful participation in our denomination’s missions campaigns - “ America for Christ,” “ World Missions Offering,” “One great Hour Sharing," “ Retired Missionaries and ministers Offering,” "United Missions Basics,” and the “Love Gift Offering”
-
Locally we are involved with Lisbon Area Christian Outreach. (LACO)Through this ecumenical group of churches, we share in the sponsorship of a food pantry, clothing locker, fuel assistance, eye glass assistance, and a loan program to assist in the purchase of prescriptions.
-
Members of this church sponsor a meal once a month at the Tedford Shelter,
-
and we have adopted families at Christmas Time, Providing them with means for a holiday Celebration.
