Missions

We are on mission in our local community!
We take seriously the call of Jesus to GO! Our focus in Missions is to reach the world with the good news of Jesus. This begins at home, right here in Union County and goes to the world. Explore where we are serving people locally, nationally, and internationally and find your place to plug in!

“Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
- Matthew 28:19

Operation Christmas Child

Pick Up Boxes Sunday!

Main Street and Children's Building

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church, worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.

You can help do this by building a shoebox. You can find shoebox tables during morning services on Main Street, and the Children’s Building. Please take a box and a brochure and fill the box with special items. Write a letter, draw a picture or place a picture of yourself in the box and then pray over it. Bring it back to the same location where you picked up the box and we will make sure it gets to Samaritan’s Purse. You must have all boxes to us by Sunday, November 24 at the end of the 11am service. Our goal is to bless 3000 children this season. Will you be part of this?

“Every box is an opportunity to reach a child with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”—Franklin Graham - President, Samaritan's Purse

Go Local

We are on mission in our local community.
Home is where the light should shine the brightest! Through #ForUnionCounty, FBCIT comes alongside many people in our community to assist them with needs. Our heart is to love and lead everyone we meet into a personal relationship with Jesus.

Go National

We are on mission in our nation!
Partnering with the North American Mission Board has allowed FBCIT to support over 100 new Church Plants from Massachusetts to Oregon. We are actively involved with SBC Disaster Relief work, providing training for volunteers, supplies, and volunteer work teams whenever a natural disaster comes. Reach Appalachia is our mission plan to assist the people of Appalachia by bringing them the love, peace, and strength that comes only from Jesus.

Go Global

We are on mission around the world!
FBCIT is focused on four areas of the world. Our goal in all four is to love and lead people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

We also support teams that arise within our FBCIT church family who are burdened for other areas of the world including Guatemala, Haiti, Nepal, India, and others! We are involved long term with Wycliff Bible Translators in translating the Bible into the Yansi language. The Yansi are a people group in northwest Democratic Republic of Congo.
