First Baptist Hurst is seeking to be a part of what God is doing all around the world. Our mission strategy is to simultaneously involve the church in reaching our community, state, continent, and the world through prayer, teaching, training, giving and going.
The last command Jesus gave was to go into the nations to make disciples, baptizing and teaching them how to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19-20). After Jesus’ resurrection, just before He ascended to heaven, He empowered His disciples with the following words in Acts 1:8:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
It’s our passion to fulfill this command by sending mission teams and supporting mission and ministry efforts on all continents of the world, starting right here in our own backyard. We seek to work in partnership with other ministries, missions, pastors, churches, missionaries, and organizations that are seeking to reach the world, with the end being to make disciples in all the earth.
