Leading People to Love Jesus
The Purpose Behind MISSIONS
In an effort to glorify God by obeying the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20), we have established a strategy to guide our Missions Committee as well as our individual mission teams. That strategy is to discover mission opportunities locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. We as a committee will share needs and opportunities with the Church, and serve the Church by establishing and conducting mission projects.
We believe that God has called all His children to share the gospel boldly, expecting Him to bring to faith those who hear the gospel, and to make disciples of those whom God saves. Specifically, we believe that FBC Pinehurst members are called to take the gospel to areas and to peoples who have little or no access to the gospel. Our goal is to make disciples while working to form indigenous local churches.
In summary, we will seek to follow Christ as He leads into areas of His world where we can carry the gospel for the purpose of making disciples, planting churches and strengthening existing churches.

This list represents the basic expression of the Christian life. It is not meant to be a sterile checklist but rather a reflection of a life given to Christ and being lived for God’s glory.
