REACHING OUR NEIGHBORS AND THE NATIONS

Explore this page to learn how you can be part of bringing the good news to people locally and around the world this year! Click through the Pray / Give / Go tabs below to get started!

The mission of reaching the nations and those across the street with the Gospel is urgent. We can participate in the daily activities of church planters, missionaries, and our own personal sharing with our ones through fervent prayer.  Matthew 9 shows us the importance of praying...
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” -Matthew 9:37-38

  • Pray that those who share will do so in clear and understandable ways.
  • Pray for opportunities for children to hear about Jesus. Ask the Father to protect them from harm and unhealthy environments.
  • Pray for house churches around the world to be established and for unity, vision and willingness to “be” church for one another.
  • Pray for the families of church planters across North America.

Partnerships

LOCAL

The call to missions begins at home. We are called first to our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, and organizations across Central Ohio.

On a local level, we partner with the State Convention of Baptists in Ohio (SCBO). The SCBO is the missionary organization within Ohio that coordinates the Great Commission cooperative efforts of Southern Baptist to reach Ohio and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Southern Baptists established the State Convention of Baptists in Ohio in 1954. Since then, the number of congregations affiliated with the State Convention has grown to more than 700.

STOWE Mission of Central Ohio

When you give and serve, you help places like the Stowe Mission Center, a ministry in inner-city Columbus. They provide assistance to those in need through a community kitchen, food pantry, dental, eye, and pregnancy resource clinics, after-school tutoring, and Stowe Church South City. Through your giving and the ministries of Stowe, we hope to see our inner-city neighbors grow into leaders who can then help others grow. Thank you for making a difference.

Five to eight volunteers are needed the second Monday and Tuesday of each month to serve lunch.

Volunteers will serve from 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM. This includes serving lunch as well as set-up and clean-up.
