Missions
MISSION STATEMENT: Calhoun First Baptist Church seeks to Exalt the Lord in all we do and Equip the saints to Engage our community and the world in Gospel Centered conversations.
URGENCY
We believe there is an urgency to take the gospel to people locally and around the world. The fields are ready for the harvest. If we are sowing or reaping, regardless of the task, we will rejoice with our co-laborers for Christ.
· John 4.35b-38, Jesus said, Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

SERVING
- Mission Our Town: CFB participates and supports various ministries within the Calhoun community such as the Women at the Well, Miracle Lake, the TN Baptist Children's Home, and the Full Circle Medical Center for Women. Gifts designated to "Mission Our Town" are split up evenly among these four ministries. We desire to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those we serve and are committed to supporting local mission efforts.
