Local Out Reach ministries
“And of some have compassion, making a difference.” Jude 1:22
At Bible Baptist Church, we believe that we should follow Christ’s example of helping others in need. The Lord has a special place in His heart for those who are sick, infirm, and grieving. Featured are just a few ways that the Bible Baptist Church ministers in our local community.
Mail Ministry
Every Tuesday, at 11:00 A.M., many ladies will converge upon the Bible Baptist Church properties to spend several hours working in our mail ministry. This is a unique ministry to help comfort those in our community who are grieving. Throughout the week, our people collect obituaries. These are copied and placed on beautiful backgrounds. Once this is accomplished they are laminated as a keepsake for the family. A page of comforting poems is included as well as a letter of comfort from our pastor. While this is being prepared, many ladies are diligently looking up addresses and preparing envelopes to mail. This is one small way we can be a comfort to those experiencing sorrow.
Care and Concern
Our church is more than just a group of people; we are a family. We love each other and are concerned about one another’s burdens. Instead of waiting for a church service to inform each other of our needs, we have a prayer chain for those requests that are time sensitive. This is accomplished by email. Anyone who has a special need can email connect@biblebaptistuniontown.com, and a member of our care and concern staff will quickly forward that request on to the church members who are online. This ministry also involves post cards and notes of encouragement to each other.
Soul Winning
Several times a week various groups in our ministry go out into the community and talk to people about their need of salvation. This ministry includes helping people to have assurance of their salvation, encouraging those who have problems to solve, and a variety of other helps. In the privacy of their own homes, we offer people the opportunity to know for sure that they have a home in heaven. Those who participate in the soul-winning ministries have been able to be a great spiritual help and blessing to those in our community.
