"We Are Joining Jesus To Reach More People And
Lead Them Into a Growing Relationship With Him"
LOCAL MISSIONS
Our first responsibility is right here in Arkansas, especially in the cities where we have campuses.
Through Local Missions we support, grow, and partner with local ministries to reach the people of our state.
Arkansas Baptist Disaster Relief
Arkansas Baptist State Convention Disaster Relief extends the love of Christ to disaster survivors by preparing hot meals, removing damaging trees and debris, tarping roofs, shoveling mud, providing emergency communications, and coordinating the response through Incident Command leadership. Following a common ministry pattern of Jesus Christ, volunteers seek to share God’s grace, hope, and Truth while meeting physical needs. The volunteers also offer hot showers and clean laundry to hard working Disaster Relief volunteers. Disaster Relief is a ministry of the heart – caring people rushing to people in crisis to offer the help, healing, and hope of Jesus Christ.
