MISSION / VISION: 

The Junior Church Ministry is dedicated to nurturing the spiritual growth of children, typically aged 5 to 12, during regular church services. The goal is to provide an age-appropriate, engaging, and interactive environment where children can learn about the Bible, develop a personal relationship with God, and build a strong foundation in Christian faith.
By creating a safe, enthusiastic, and nurturing environment, the Junior Church Ministry helps children
develop a lifelong love for God and the church community. This ministry lays the groundwork for them to grow into spiritually mature adults who continue to walk in faith.

MISSION / VISION: 

Our Mission is Commitment to God, love, harmony, visiting the sick, and raising funds to help with the expenses of the church.

GUIDING SCRIPTURE: 

Micah 6:8 He hath showed us what is good, what the Lord requires of us, to what is just, to show constant love and live in humble fellowship with God.
Ephesians 2: 8-10 for by grace, we are saved, through faith and not of ourselves. It is the gift of God not of works, less any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

MISSION / VISION: 

The MISSION of the Twelfth Baptist Church Kitchen Ministry is to extend the love of Christ and show radical hospitality in everything we do. MISSION Pray in agreement with our pastor, church body and the Trustees, trusting God, that we will have a state-of-the-art kitchen facility to enhance our kingdom ministry in food and service to others.

GUIDING SCRIPTURE: 

Acts 2:46-47 “They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.”
(1 Corinthians 10:31) “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the Glory of God.”.(Matthew 25:35 “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I thirsty and you gave me drink.

MISSION / VISION: 

The LFM Mission is three-fold:

(1) To engage, encourage and support each other in fellowship through discussion and exploration of various forms of literature.

(2) To show patience, kindness and love towards each other when differing points of view are expressed, and

(3) To provide a safe space where all are welcomed, accepted and loved upon.

The LFM Vision’s foundation is based in love through on-the-ground implementation of our mission of love and Christian fellowship. And if we practice this vision of love in real time, all participants will leave feeling seen and heard and will have enjoyed the experience with an eagerness to return.

Activities in addition to our quarterly book talks include facilitating Friday night prayer service and cooking for TBC seniors at least one Sunday a year.

For fall 2024, LFM will be traveling to NYC to visit the J.P. Morgan Library exhibit featuring Belle da Costa Greene, the main character in the book, a Black American woman, who was forced to hide her true identity and pass as white during her tenure as J.P. Morgan’s personal librarian.
See the book, “The Personal Librarian” by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray.

Please consider LFM as a Ministry that’s just right for you!
