The Bible says in Acts 1:8, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."  This commission is the duty of every New Testament church to fulfill.  Fellowship Baptist Church has an extensive soul-winning program to reach our Jerusalem, and conferences and revivals to help reach our Judaea and our Samaria.  However, there is only one way that the church can take the Gospel around the world while it serves the people of a local area.  That way is through financially supporting missionaries who give of their life to bring the Gospel to the uttermost for us.

In 1995, FBC held its first annual missions conference.  It was then that the church caught Preacher's burden to help reach the world for Christ.  It was then that FBC adopted the "Faith Promise" method for giving to missions.  After that first conference, the church pledged to give $400 per week to foreign missions.  Previously, FBC supported only a few missionaries.

Over the last eleven years, Fellowship's faith promise giving has increased each and every year.  In November of 2005, the members pledged to give over $3,800 per week to foreign missions.  The number of missionaries has grown to 125.

The highlight of the annual missions conference is "Missionary Christmas."  The members of the church host the visiting missionary families.  The families come before the church in a Christmas setting and are truly "spoiled." The deserving families, which usually spend Christmas on deputation, are always taken back by the love and attention shown by the church.  With the help of the Lydia Ladies and other ministries of the church, FBC raises thousands of dollars throughout the year for this annual event.

Through the ministry of missions support,  Fellowship Baptist Church is literally taking the Gospel around the world.
