Missions at Mansfield

At Mansfield Baptist Church, we are committed to living out the Great Commission by taking the Gospel to our local community, our nation, and the world. Our Missions Ministry provides opportunities to serve through local outreach, short-term mission trips, and partnerships with global missionaries. Whether it’s through meeting physical needs, sharing the hope of Christ, or supporting missionaries, we strive to advance the Kingdom and make an eternal impact. Join us in being the hands and feet of Jesus as we go and share the Gospel with the world!

ADVANCEMENT 

MBC is a local community of Christ followers with the desire to advance the kingdom of God. According to Ephesians 4, we are responsible to invest and teach the gospel “to equip the saints for the work of ministry for building up the body of Christ.” We want to create a culture where Christ followers long for His Word and allow it to transform their lives. 

  • Is there a ministry team I could serve with to use my gifts in the church?
  • Do you know your gifts, talents and abilities?
  • Where would you like to invest your time in serving at MBC?


We gather on a regular basis to exalt Christ and encourage one another in the faith. We do this by serving others with the gifts and abilities the Lord has entrusted to us. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul challenges us with these words, “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” When we are striving together in the local church, we experience the growth of the common good. We work together to advance the kingdom of God.

  • How can I intentionally invest in my local community and workplace?
  • Where would God like me to spend time sharing Christ in my community?
  • Where can I serve with my time, talents, and resources in my local community?


As followers of Christ, we are to live on mission each day. We are sent daily for the glory of God, whether it is at the ball field or in the boardroom. Whether we are in our neighborhood or another country, living a life on mission is a message we want our people to see and experience. We live 95% of our lives outside the church walls in our local and surrounding communities. Therefore, we desire to create a culture where church members live to advance the kingdom of God in our local community.

  • Would you be willing to take a short term mission trip in the next 24 months?
  • What could you offer to the nations?
  • How can you advance the kingdom to the nations?


Jesus’ command is clear: his disciples are to go and make disciples of all nations. It is easy to see our own local bubble and stop at those borders. But God has also given us a command for the nations. In Acts 1, Jesus challenged his own disciples to advance the gospel to the nations. He said, “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 end of the earth.” We live today with that same command and challenge. What if we were available to spend a little time out of our comfort zone and go to the nations?
