Benevolence: We greet, counsel, pray and present the Gospel to people. We bag and deliver food and other items in grocery carts for families to take home. Volunteers examine past due rent or utility bills and provide financial assistance. And so much more. Many, many volunteers are needed to make this a success.

As we prepare to welcome clients back on campus, we will need several volunteers for various positions such as intake, counselors, baggers, etc. If you are willing to join us as a volunteer in meeting with clients, please let us know so we can plan accordingly. We need you in order to have personal contact with those we serve! Contact Benevolence Ministry

Project Refresh: FBC Augusta partners with Project Refresh throughout the year offering support of funds and items. We also encourage our small groups to volunteer with Project Refresh on Shower days to share the love of Christ with our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Founded in July of 2020, Project Refresh, Inc. is a non-profit organization that believes access to a refreshing shower is a basic human right no one should be denied. As a group of healthcare workers who have witnessed the effect that a shower has on an individual’s overall well-being and health, coupled with the fact that there are currently limited resources available in Augusta, GA that allow those in need access to a shower, it quickly became our mission to bring a mobile shower unit to several locations in the downtown Augusta area that would allow individuals to be afforded a refreshing shower, improving not only their hygiene but their dignity as well.  Our vision extends beyond simply providing a shower. We hope to establish partnerships with other organizations that serve the homeless population of Augusta, connect these individuals with resources that would ultimately improve one’s overall quality of life, and significantly reduce the homeless population of Augusta. https://www.projectrefreshinc.com/

Copeland Elementary: We have an ongoing partnership with Copeland Elementary School just down Jackson Road from the church. This involves adopting classrooms, providing goodie bags for the teachers, assisting as science fair judges, supplying some candy for the fall festival, offering space for pre-planning meetings and lunch, and many other opportunities.

Current Needs for Copeland Ministry: Up to 5 volunteers to read with children in the library. Contact Ann Taylor

Women’s Missionary Union: The Serendipity Mission Group (Tuesday Evening). This groups enjoy guest speakers and a meal together and discuss ways to minister to the community. Serve at the soup kitchen, St. Johns Towers, Friendship Community Center and many other ministry opportunities in our community. Pray together and support each other.

Helping Hands: We sew purses for the Lydia Project (a ministry that reaches women who are being treated for cancer). We knit baby caps for newborns in the neonatal nursery and make bedrolls, stocking caps and scarves for the homeless.

Homebound Ministry Team: We minister to our members who can no longer come to our building to connect with Jesus and the church in person, but we bring the church to them. Our team makes contact monthly with our members who have chronic illnesses or mobility issues. We make personal visits, phone calls, and send cards to keep the connection with church family strong and alive. We welcome you to join us as we serve together to share God’s love and light.

Honduras (Mission on the Move): We began a partnership with Mission on the Move in Honduras. The Honduras mission consists of an after-school program (grades 1-6), a youth discipleship program (grades 7-12), and university scholarships for qualified students. In 2015 the mission established a “gateway home” for transitional care for abandoned babies until Honduran families can adopt them. Mission on the Move provides holistic development for each child to include, but not limited to, discipleship and spiritual development; all school fees, supplies and uniforms; homework help and tutoring; basic medical and dental care; daily hot, nutritious meals; and hygiene supplies and instructions. Our congregation provides opportunities to members to serve in a variety of ways from child sponsorship to participation on dental, educational and construction mission trips.

Our Mission Development Council is currently exploring other opportunities with CBF Global for mission engagement across the world. We look forward to offering more opportunities for ministry abroad.
