3BC - Third Baptist Church

Missions & Evangelism

Missions is anything that we do that helps us take the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the lost.

The strategy has been given to us by our Savior in Acts 1:8:

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Jerusalem is anything we do to take the Gospel to our city and county.

We are involved in and partnered with ministries that help us accomplish our Jerusalem missions:

  • Members of 3BC using their Platforms throughout our city/county each day
  • Food Pantry (on-site at 3BC)
  • S4 Project (supporting Mitchell Nielson Primary and Elementary Schools)
  • Fellowship of Christian Athletes
  • Pregnancy Support Center
  • The Journey Home
  • 180 Degrees Ministries
  • Rutherford County Jail Ministry
  • Various other ministries and projects

Judea is anything we do to take the Gospel to our nation:

We were at one time partnered with Christ City Church and its Pastor Jonathan McIntosh in Memphis, This was a new church plant which is focused on reaching Midtown Memphis. Because they are now an established church we are currently seeking to find a church plant within 3 to 5 hours drive in the state of Tennesssee with which to partner.

Samaria is anything we do to take the Gospel to North America:

We are now working with a church plant in Tierra Blanca, Chiapas, Mexico. It's name is First Baptist Church of Tierra Blanca. We are deeply involved in the history of this church. The Pastor is Olivio Vazquez. He came to America and was led to Christ in our Hispanic congregation. He returned to his home town, started a Bible study with eight of his family members and now has a church of 70 persons. We have gone there several times and our future plans for 2012 is a medical mission trip and a construction trip to help build a church building. Right now they are meeting under a tarp.

Ends of the earth is anything we do to take the Gospel beyond the borders of North America:

We are currently working with a family who are members of 3BC serving in Namur, Belgium. Namur is the capital of the French-speaking region of Belgium. We average 2-3 trips yearly to Namur for ministry opportunities.

3BC encourages members to not only pray for the lost but to GO to the lost and share the Gospel. Whether it's your neighborhood, your school, your office or Tennessee, Tierra Blanca, Chiapas, Mexico, or Namur, members of 3BC should always be on mission with Jesus! Talk with one of the Pastors about how you can be on mission!
