Mission Outreach:

One of the major focuses we have at First Baptist Wheeling is on our "Mission Outreach." We support many mission programs, from internally, to throughout the state of West Virginia, to reaching out all over the world. We feel honored to have so many members of our congregation willing to go out into the world to do missionary work. From those who do service projects for a week, to those who in recent years have traveled to places including but not limited to Zambia, China, Venezuela, Bolivia, Russia, Greece, Ireland, Chicago, Alaska, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Many of our college students have participated in extensive Mission trips to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have many from our congregation with ages from the teens to our senior adults, who are not hesitant to go out and do physical labor and service projects of love when called to do so. Not only do we go out to do service in the Mission field, but we offer mission outreach inside our own church as evidenced by the AWANA children's program and Vacation Bible schools which bring in children not always members of our church to participate. We sponsor and present revivals - a mission outreach to all who so richly benefit from the associated events, prayer, and worship experience. We have a wonderful college outreach program that enables those who attend our local colleges a place to feel welcomed and to worship freely. Many of our college students who we partner with are international students far away from their home countries.
