Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:19
Sharing Christ. Changing Lives.
How we "do" mission at FBC.
Mission has always held a special place in the heart of the First Baptist Church community. Our commitment to helping those in need is reflected in the quilts and blankets we create for survivors of local disasters and the Christmas shoeboxes we fill for Operation Christmas Child. Additionally, we offer food and gas assistance to those passing through our area, recognizing that sometimes even a small act of kindness can make a big difference. It is truly a blessing for us to minister to thousands of people who visit Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains.
