Local Mission Team
Our Local Mission Team works diligently to discover the various needs of the families of our church and community and then helps determine how to best mobilize the people and resources of FHBC to meet those needs.
It could be...
-
•a family in need of groceries,
-
•a senior adult in need of medication,
-
•a person with a disability who needs some modifications to their home to help with their mobility,
-
•a person who needs transportation to a medical appointment,
-
•someone who lives alone, who needs someone to call and check on them each day
-
•a person with a visual limitation who needs someone to come and read to them
Whatever the need, our Local Mission Team seeks to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ by allowing Him to use us to meet the need.
