First Baptist Church, through the work and
coordination of the Downtown Ministry Committee, has defined four initiatives
that reflect the talents, gifts and passions of our members.
The following initiatives, described briefly, are recommended. Please consider
them prayerfully to see where and how God is calling you to be Christ’s presence
in downtown Chattanooga.Homeless
Persons
This initiative will connect with the Homeless Coalition and Interfaith Homeless
Network to offer hospitality and encouragement to persons without homes in
Chattanooga.
Life Enrichment University
This initiative will allow you to minister to downtown residents, employees and
others. We will offer a wide variety of educational and enrichment activities in
our facility and in other venues in the downtown area, often in connection with
existing helping agencies.
Students and Parents at Battle Academy
This initiative will give you opportunities to partner with First Baptist on
East 8th Street in fostering supportive relationships with students and parents
at Battle Academy.
UTC Ministry
This initiative will provide you with opportunities to develop relationships
with students at UTC. Activities will enable First Baptist to be a visible and
active presence on campus, with special attention to students related to the
Baptist Student Center. |
