Mission Committee
The Missions Committee at SCBC is seeking to be obedient
to Acts 1:8. We are to be His witnesses in Jerusalem,
Judea, Samaria and to the remotest parts of the earth.
SCBC is a Global Priority Church because we partner with
International Mission Board missionaries All SCBC members have opportunities
to be a part of the missions programs by praying,
giving, and by going. All three of these parts are key to the
success of the missions program. Those interested in
going may contact the Church Office or anyone on the
Missions Committee for available trip information. Training
is made available to assist
volunteers in areas such as
Cross Cultural training,
preparation for mission trips
and Emergency Response
Training. Be blessed – pray,
give, and go!!
The goal of the Mission Committee is to be obedient
to the Lord. As Jesus commanded the disciples: “Go ye
therefore , and teach all nations…” Matthew 28:19a.
We
seek to do this through local missions, missions in our
region, missions across North America and missions
throughout the World. The Mission Committee at Swift
Creek Baptist Church is responsible for monitoring
Mission programs that the church has decided to support.
In addition we recommend the addition on new ministries
to support and to drop ministries that seem to fall
outside the area the church desires to support. We
schedule mission trips for people of all ages who are
willing to meet the needs of the laborers on the field.
Using at least 15% of the total giving is a goal that
Swift Creek has maintained throughout the years to
support ministries and missionaries not including
special Southern Baptist offerings.
