Local Evangelism and Global Missions

Brett Thompson, Pastor of Evangelism and Missions:

Greatest Gift to Jesus Missions Offering

Throughout the month of December, we are collecting a special missions offering to accelerate the spread of the gospel from our city to the ends of the earth.  100% of this offering will go to missions.  We encourage you to consider giving an offering over and above your regular tithe. You may give either in our services or online at fbcforney.org/give. Choose either the "Greatest Gift To Jesus" or the "FBC Missions" funds.
