The command of Christ is to make disciples, taking the gospel to all people groups, and helping people to put into practice all that Christ commands. Not only are local churches the means God has chosen to accomplish this, but they are a part of the end product itself, as mature disciples must be growing and serving in local congregations established after a New Testament model.
Baptist Mid-Missions, in addition to it’s worldwide ministry in nearly 60 countries, is heavily involved in establishing churches in North America. Since our first church plant was completed in 1942, approximately 90 churches have graduated from mission status. Currently 26 church plants, at various stages of development, are in progress in 14 American states and 3 Canadian provinces.
Our goal is to help these works graduate sooner and finish stronger, so that we can move on to other needy areas. In North America there is a great and growing need for Bible-based and doctrinally-sound local churches which will carry out the great commission with a balanced, vital ministry.
