From the Neighborhood to the Nations

From the neighborhood to the nations, at First Baptist Church we believe that the Great Commission was given to every follower of Jesus!  That means everyone who is saved by Christ is now used by Christ to take His name to the nations. 


We believe that we are all created to impact the nations for the glory of Jesus' name, especially the unreached. It is our prayer that the gospel will be proclaimed throughout our community and all over the world for the global fame of Christ Jesus.

Cooperative Effort

First Baptist Church partners with several entities to reach the world's greatest problem: lostness. Through partnerships with these entities, FBC faithfully supports and sends people to the nations for the renown and glory of King Jesus. 

  • International Mission Board (IMB)

    The IMB is the Southern Baptist Convention’s international missions arm. It sends and supports missionaries who share the gospel, make disciples, and plant churches among the nations — especially where Christ is least known.


    As a Southern Baptist church, First Baptist Bowling Green partners with the IMB by praying, giving through the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, and walking with members who sense a call to go. 

  • North American Mission Board (NAMB)

    The NAMB is the Southern Baptist Convention’s missions arm for the United States and Canada. It helps churches share the gospel, plant churches, and meet needs through compassion ministry — including Send Network church planting and Send Relief.


    As a Southern Baptist church, First Baptist Bowling Green partners with NAMB by praying, giving through the Cooperative Program and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, and exploring ways to plant and reach closer to home.

  • Kentucky Baptist Convention

    The Kentucky Baptist Convention is a cooperative missions and ministry network of nearly 2,400 Baptist churches across Kentucky. Working with local associations and the Southern Baptist Convention, Kentucky Baptists share the gospel and strengthen churches so they can reach Kentucky and the world for Christ.


    As a cooperating church, First Baptist Bowling Green partners with the KBC through prayer, the Cooperative Program, and shared ministry across our state — including alongside our South Central Baptist Association. Learn more at kybaptist.org.
