Operation Christmas Child

OCC 2021 Shoebox Collection Header Final

Thanks to you, we’re helping spread the message of Jesus with gift-filled shoeboxes to thousands of children around the world! If you picked up an empty shoebox, we’re asking that you drop off your filled box at FBA beginning Sunday, November 14, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Missionary Adoption Program

Would you consider showing appreciation, value, encouragement, and love to one of our missionaries by participating in the Missionary Adoption Program (MAP)? FBA has 82 families in full-time ministry work. Yet, despite the large size of our congregation, it is surprising that we have missionaries with only one or two adopters under MAP. You can change that. Missionaries may be adopted by church members, families, and Sunday School classes.

Perhaps with a better understanding of MAP, you might consider adopting a missionary. One of the biggest misconceptions about MAP is that there is a financial obligation involved. That is not the case. Our missionaries receive financial support through Faith Promise giving.

Faith Promise Principle and Commitment

The primary way our church directly supports world missions is through the Faith Promise. Your undesignated Faith Promise gifts are used to help support international, national and local missions through 94 individual career missionary families and various other mission projects.
