Procedures and Guidelines

 

The Missions Committee shall meet on a monthly basis to review applications for support. It is our goal to fund local, national and international missions to go out unto the world and spread the Gospel of Christ. All recommendations from the Missions Committee shall be subject to approval by the Finance Committee, the Executive Committee and the Deacon Board.

Mission funds shall be dispersed once a month and will be funded through a percentage of undesignated tithes. The percentage will be determined at the annual business meeting for the next calendar year.

All mission support must be reviewed and renewed annually. It is not necessary to re-apply for support after the initial application. All mission supported activities must complete an application before support will be considered. The support period runs from January 1 through December 31.

All individuals and/or organizations must be in agreement with the statement of faith for First Baptist Church. Whenever possible, all applicants shall interview with the Mission Committee as part of the application process. Periodic reports (newsletters, e-mail and/or visits) are encouraged from all funded individuals and/or organizations.
