Local Mission Focus

In an effort to make an impact on our community,  First Baptist Clemson will focus quarterly on a local organization and mission need through education, service opportunities, and donations.  We hope you can be a part of these mission endeavors as we work together to 'love God and love our neighbor' (Luke 10:27). 

Family Promise/Homelessness

During the months of April- June we focus our local mission efforts on Family Promise.  The Director, Joann Brink, spoke to the congregation on April 26 and shared their story, ministry, and vision for the future.  The church also had a 'Home Improvement  Work Day' at the Center on May 7.  


Our support of this ministry last throughout the year. One week each quarter, First Baptist Clemson host families who are working toward independence with Family Promise.  Volunteers from FBC and St. Andrews Catholic Church coordinate together to provide food, lodging, and activities during the week.

Helping Hands/Children

During the months of July- September we focus our local mission efforts on Helping Hands and Children.  We look forward to participating in a Christmas in July celebration, working in the Helping Hands store, and donating school supplies. 


Children First

Children First is a ministry project designed to work with local elementary schools in providing for specific needs of their children.  Requests are made by school administrators, teachers, or social services personnel and passed on to our church family.  Items donated by FBCC have included:  bookbags, toiletries, gloves and hats, and treats during their state mandated testing.

Adoptive Grandparents

Children First developed this outreach program as a ministry to children currently in safe houses under DSS protection.  These children are typically taken away from parents while courts decide their fate.  Our goal is simple:  reach out with a written expression of care once per week, recognize important events in their life, and take part in special activities planned for them at FBCC.  For more information contact Linda White.


 

Clemson Community Care/ Hunger

During the months of October - December we focus our mission efforts on Clemson Community Care and Hunger issues.  We will participate in the CROP Walk, have a canned food drive (men verses women), support World Hunger through our bread sale fundraiser, and work in a local soup kitchen. 


Thought the year, our church supports hunger relief through our Second Helping Sundays. The Second Sunday of each month is Second Helpings Sunday!  he following items are needed by Clemson Community Care: canned pasta, dried beans, canned tomatoes, mixed beans, tomato sauce and tomato paste, pork and beans, and peanut butter.  We always have a need for baby diapers, wipes, and toiletries. Let us all join in Second Sunday Helpings and continue feeding hungry neighbors right here in Clemson!
