Serve

Our commitment at FBC Slidell is to lead people into a growing Christ-Centered relationship with Jesus by providing an adult ministry of Bible Study, fellowship, care and encouragement. Sunday Morning Bible Study classes are the core of this ministry.

The mission of First Baptist Church Preschool Ministries is to work alongside parents to “
Train up a child in the way he should go.” (Proverbs 22:6)  “To lay a spiritual foundation in a loving and accepting environment, as we prayerfully consider the uniqueness of each child.

We are a Christ-centered group focused on discipling other ladies towards their maturity in their walk with Christ.  We have many areas for women of our church to volunteer:  before and after Bible Study set up, visiting shut-ins, providing meals for the sick or those who have lost loved ones, and mission projects.

“Our mission is to offer a Christ-centered Children’s Ministry designed to impact children and families with the love of Christ and with God’s Word.”
Our purpose in HisKIDS is to provide opportunities for Children and Preteens to experience the love of Christ in an environment where the focus is learning God’s Word because it is through God’s Word that lives are changed (2 Tim. 3:16).

Our mission is to help students grow “spiritual roots” allowing God to become their stability and sustainer. We realize that to be great witnesses for Christ, we must have our foundation firmly established in who He is.
As a Student Ministry we are devoted to this process of growing deep roots. We accomplish this by developing a love for God’s Word, being devoted to prayer, worshiping together, spending time with other believers, sharing our faith with those around us and serving our community and those in need.

Our Building and Grounds volunteers work weekly with our maintenance and custodial crew to maintain the beauty of our facility.  Volunteers are needed in all areas from inside maintenance to landscaping. 

Our 55+ is a ministry and outreach to senior adult members of our church and the community.  We meet the last Friday of each month.  Our meetings include a presentation of God’s word, a delicious lunch served by our kitchen staff, and time for fun and fellowship. Greeters, entertainers, speakers,and servers are always needed.

The goal of Upward Basketball Slidell is to share the love of Jesus Christ with the children of Slidell and their families.  We have a first class basketball and cheerleading program that encourages every player to develop their sports skills as well as their character.  Our program runs from January to April each year.  Volunteers are needed for coaches, referees, game day coordinators, and prayer partners. Another unique way that people can serve in this ministry is by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ during half time of the games.

Our food pantry is here to serve people in and around the Slidell area. We receive food and grocery items from area grocery stores, Second Harvest Food Bank in New Orleans, and our own church family. Volunteers are on hand to meet with and minister to folks with needs: not just groceries but prayer requests, a listening ear, and encouragement, too. Call for an appointment.

OPEN: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

The “Give a Cup of Water” Benevolence Ministry gives everyone an opportunity to minister to individuals and families in need.  Financial contributions made to this ministry help pay for health needs, utilities, clothing, and counseling.  This ministry also offers an opportunity to lend a helping hand to children, adults, and seniors.

This ministry is dedicated to educating our church family on the foster care and orphan crisis, advocating for these children and families, and giving our church family opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus.  A few ways that you can volunteer for this ministry are working in our foster care closet, assisting with foster care orientations, collecting orphan care items, and participating in local and international mission trips that focus on these children and families.

The purpose of this ministry opportunity is to engage residents in the Vancouver, Washington area through both personal and event led evangelism. The ministry team will be involved in outreach endeavors to a local college campus adjacent to Fourth Plains Baptist Church as well as door to door evangelism efforts to the local community.

The purpose of this ministry opportunity is to assist in equipping a native church with evangelism training.
