about missions

God’s purpose is to redeem the world so that He will be exalted among them. God has included us, His Redeemed, in His mission. Through missions, we join God in His mission to reconcile His creation to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:18); we respond to our own reconciled relationship with God by loving others (1 John 4:11); we obey the commandment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 19-20); and we encourage the Body of Christ (2 Corinthians 9:12-13). Our mission to share His love in word and deed means that we are here to serve one another, both in the church, in our local community and throughout the world. We seek to provide specific opportunities for everyone to have a place of service. While subject to no other organizational body, Central Baptist Bearden has chosen to affiliate with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF), Tennessee Baptist Mission Board (TBMB), Tennessee Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (TCBF), and Knox County Association of Baptists (KCAB).
