Missions

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

Part of the mission statement of our church is to connect people to Jesus' mission. The mission is to take the Gospel to the entire world. That means sharing the gospel in Lawton and surrounding areas, Oklahoma, United States and around the world. We are able to do this partly because of your gifts to our church. 10% of our giving goes directly to Oklahoma Baptists and part of that money is sent to the Southern Baptist Convention. The bulk of that money goes to support North American and International Missions Boards. (NAMB and IMB) We are involved with missions locally and take trips to various locations. We believe we are to Go and Connect people to Jesus, but also connect people to His Mission.

111 Project exists to mobilize the local church so every child has family. 1 Church 1 Family 1 Purpose can change everything. As a church, we strive to make connections with foster care families in need to offer prayer and resources. By showing the love of Christ through these connections, FBE turns a moment of help into a movement of hope. Interested? Contact Lisa Love.

Active Missionaries

Danny Brown

Danny Brown has been serving in Thailand for many years and he assists the churches with music ministry and strives to reach the people of Thailand with the gospel. You can give directly to Danny through our church as he is responsible to raise his own support annually. Danny and his family were a vital part of FBE in the 1980's before they moved and Danny remained a part of our church for several years assisting in music and youth ministry before joining YWAM ministries and moving to Thailand.

FBE Coffee Corner

Our coffee corner at First Baptist East is by donation only. At the end of the month everything after expenses goes towards a specific ministry/mission throughout the year. Not only is it good coffee but it is for a good cause. Our coffee corner is a great way to live out Connecting People to His Mission.
