“March for Missions Weekend” with the New Hampshire Mission Team

BBC is hosting a team of 4 from our partnering church, Emmaus Church in Manchester, NH to join us for our March for Missions Weekend March 26-30 which will culminate with our second annual Missions Celebration on Sunday afternoon, March 30 from 4-6 pm in the Fellowship Hall.

Wednesday Night 3/26

Pastor Kevin and Lisa Fortier along with two other Emmaus members will join us for supper at BBC and visit with our youth and possibly other groups that evening.

Thursday 3/27

A small group is going to serve with Pastor Kevin and his team at Victory Home, where we will lead the chapel service, and at Freedom Hill Recovery Center where we will join the women in the program for an afternoon tea.

Friday 3/28

Another group will go serve on the Appalachian Trail by preparing and offering hamburgers and other grab and go kinds of snacks to Thru Hikers, engaging them in prayer and Gospel conversations.

Saturday 3/29

We have an exciting opportunity to join our own BBC missionary in Clarkston, GA, Andrew Beall, in a day of learning and ministry with Clarkston International Bible Church! We will leave the church at 8:30 am and return by 5:30 pm. We can bring a group of up to 30 people. You will need comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to buy your lunch as a local restaurant. In addition, we are asking each person to bring $10 (or more) for a donation to their ministries. You will learn about ministering to the international and refugee community in Clarkston as well as how to minister to other ethnic groups in our own community. 

Sunday Morning 3/30

The NH Team is joining us for worship and life groups! They would love to visit with your life group if we can schedule it. Let Keith Ivey or Brenda Nicholson know of your interest.

Sunday Afternoon 3/30

This will be our second year of having a “Mission Celebration” in the Fellowship Hall that includes representatives from local partnering ministries and some of our church ministries as well as information on four exciting ways you can engage with missions locally, regionally, nationally and internationally! As with last year, it is from 4-6 pm and life groups will be asked to bring refreshments. Come meet our partners and pray for them with us and see what we have on the calendar for the coming year!

Go Beyond—Make a Difference!

Acts 1:8 says:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
For us at Bethlehem Baptist Church, our “Jerusalem” is right here in Habersham County—and that’s why we’re excited for this year’s Beyond Bethlehem!

What is Beyond Bethlehem?
It’s more than a day of service—it’s a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community! Through kindness, generosity, and shared time, we’ll make a real impact together.

For over 20 years, our church has been stepping out in faith to serve, and we need YOU to keep the mission going strong!

📅 Date: Saturday, April 12
⏰ Time: 9:00 a.m. – Noon
📍 Where: Across our community

All supplies and materials are provided—just bring your heart for serving! No matter your age or skill level, we have something for you.

Ready to join us? Click here to sign up so we can plan for all our projects. And don’t forget to pray for this event as we go beyond our walls to share God’s love!

Let’s serve together—see you there! 💙

Global Missions Fund and Local Ministries

The Global Missions Fund at BBC impacts a wide range of mission ministries. It is the main vehicle by which BBC gives to the Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong Offerings. Through it the church sends quarterly gifts to Georgia Baptist initiatives, Mission Georgia, World Hunger and the GB Children's Home, as well as BBC’s local mission partners like the Habersham Baptist Association, Grace Gate, Habersham Christian Learning Center, and Victory Home. Through this fund we support Beyond Bethlehem and underwrite up to 50% of the cost of each person who participates in a BBC Mission Trip.
 
To give to the Global Missions Fund, indicate your gift on your giving envelope, on your check, or choose Global Missions from the dropdown menu in the BBCC App. If you have other questions, please contact the church office, or the BBC mission team leader, Keith Ivey.
 
BBC works with these and other local partners. Feel free to contact or visit them to see how you and your Life Group can serve with them!
