Local & Short Term Missions

Gethsemane Baptist Church

Faith is in a partner relationship with Gethsemane, a church across the border, in Nogales, Mexico, seeking to share the Gospel in an area of great poverty along the western edges of Nogales.  Short term teams from Faith visit several times a year to assist with construction and outreach.

Thunderbird International Friends

Welcome Partners is a hospitality ministry for the international students at the Garvin Thunderbird Graduate School in Glendale.  Christians in the northwest valley have the opportunity to be hosts that befriend a student or family while they are here for a year or two. For more information go to www.thunderbirdinternationalfriends.org.

Refugee Resettlement Support
The Missions Team of FBC, in response to God's call to care for the marginalized in our world, is partnering with Lutheran Social Services to relocate the Rijal family in Phoenix.

Special thanks to all who helped by donating furniture and household supplies, and to those who moved furniture and set up a lovely home for them. Read about it here.

In addition to the trips to Mexico, trips are planned each year to India and Africa to assist with evangelism, church planting and relief ministries.  High school and college age youth are encouraged and supported for summer mission trips.
