MISSIONS MINISTRY
Act 1:8 states: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
FBC Vicksburg seeks to fulfill this commandment through various mission opportunities.
We provide local mission opportunities of service in Vicksburg. Some missions include:
