Our stateside mission efforts focus on meeting needs, building relationships, and pointing people to Jesus right where we live.
Throughout the year, we partner with ministries and organizations to care for families, support vulnerable neighbors, and serve our region in practical ways. These opportunities allow our church family to step into everyday mission fields — showing compassion, offering hope, and being the hands and feet of Christ.

You don’t have to cross an ocean to live on mission. Sometimes it starts right across the street.

Baptists on Mission recently provided an opportunity for our church to serve through a disaster response mission trip in Western North Carolina. As communities faced hardship, our team stepped in to offer practical help, encouragement, and the hope of Christ during a critical time of need.

Partnerships like this allow us to live out the gospel in tangible ways — responding when people are hurting and reminding them they are not alone. We are thankful to serve alongside a ministry that mobilizes believers to bring help, healing, and lasting hope wherever it is needed most.

We are currently serving at Providence Assisted Living in Smithfield, NC, home to 20 residents. This ministry focuses on sharing Jesus, spending time with residents, and building an ongoing partnership. Visitors of all ages, including children and grandchildren, are welcome to join!

Through strategic partnerships and mission trips, Bethesda members help strengthen churches, encourage pastors, and share the gospel in places where the need is great. These trips are more than moments — they are part of ongoing relationships that are making an eternal difference.
