Club 180

For many years, FBC has supported the work of Club 180, a ministry that exists to meet the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of children, youth, and families in Lynch, KY. Terry and Angie Burkeen are the Directors of Club 180 Ministry. In 2006, God called them, along with their two teenage daughters, to move to Kentucky to live on mission for Him. FBC sends our people to serve with Club 180 to hold activities, events, Bible studies, and mentoring for kids and parents.

London is a city with over 300 different spoken languages representing 190 nations. Some have said that if we can reach London with the Gospel, we can reach the world. FBC is partnering with the International Mission Board to send out students, families, business professionals, and retirees to use their God-given gifts, abilities, and passions to engage the community and multiply disciples. Our church partners directly with two IMB missionaries in London: Terry Quick and the Carl Porter Family.

For years, FBC has partnered with a Baptist church in Pattaya, Thailand to show and share God’s love with those who have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mission team members teach English, conduct community events, and distribute Christian literature in the Thai language.

James and Lisa Atkinson are members of our church and are moving to Turin, Italy in 2023. They will open a coworking space in Turin as a means of making disciples and planting an international church in the city. They will be serving with ABWE (The Association of Baptists for World Evangelism). Read more about their role here.
