Mission Groups


Belvedere First Baptist is very active when it comes to missions.  We have several groups to which the primary focus is missions throughout our community, state, nation, and world. Click on each area below for more information.

Missions are made possible throughout the world through your support of the Cooperative Program.  Please continue to support missions by giving to a local church that supports the Cooperative Program.

Women's Missionary Union (WMU)

Since its beginning in 1888, the Women's Missionary Union has become the largest Protestant missions organization for women in the world, with a membership of approximately 1 million. WMU's main purpose is to educate and involve adults, youth, children, and preschoolers in the cause of Christian missions. Although originally geared towards women, girls, and preschoolers, both genders are active participants in WMU organizations and ministries today.

Mission Friends

Mission Friends is the church missions organization of WMU for preschoolers ages 3 through 5. The primary objective of Mission Friends is to provide a strong foundation for preschoolers in a Christian and missions lifestyle. Mission Friends provides developmentally appropriate missions learning experiences to help preschoolers move from a self-centered focus to a focus on others, to become aware that not everyone knows about God's love, and to understand ways they can help others know about this good news!

Youth on Mission

Youth on Mission is our Wednesday night program geared to ministry.  Relevant Bible study is central to each meeting followed by times of planning for ministry.  YOM starts every Wednesday night at 7:00 pm in the Youth HOUSE.  Come join us.
