MISSIONS

Volunteer Opportunities & Local Partnerships

Below are some ways you can serve your community. Most church events and local partners rely on volunteers to remain functional and ongoing. There are a variety of opportunities for people to serve, whether on the campus of FBCA or out in the community.

Donate Needed Items

Local missions, often in its most basic form, are getting supplies and food to people in need. For example, you can donate requested items, like food, diapers and cleaning supplies, at one of the collection events held at the church for local partners, like Alive.

Mentor Students

In every area of missions our goal is to develop relationships with others. However, some volunteer work is more focused on building relationships than others, and this is certainly the case with the Mentoring Program at Casa Chirilagua. Building relationships present us with the opportunity to listen, understand, and acknowledge people’s purpose and value. As people share with us, we have opportunities to share our lives and God’s good work within it. Spend an hour each with a local student and allow God to use you to make a difference in a life.

Teach ESL

We live in one of the most diverse areas in the country with many opportunities to engage with people from all over the world without having to get on a plane. Teaching English is an important program that we are proud to help support, as men and women adjust to living in America. You can be a helpful part of this process by working with them as they learn English.  

For the Nations DC classes meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday mornings each week at FBCA.
Contact Jesse to find out how you can get involved.

With many people losing their jobs, or for one reason or another not able to qualify for government assistance,  FBCA has expanded our Mercy Fund to financially assist people in our area who are in great need.
  • To donate please give online through the Mercy Fund.  You can also designate checks to the Benevolence Fund in your memo line.
  • If you are seeking financial assistance, reach out to our missions office by emailing Jesse, our missions associate.
