Serve with Faith
Serving matters because it is the heartbeat of our mission at First Missionary Baptist Church. At FMBC Elm City, we believe that every act of service, no matter how small, supports our collective journey of faith, strengthens our fellowship, and deepens our community impact. When you serve, you aren't just filling a role. You are an essential part of building God's Kingdom right here in our community.
