The
outreach and extended ministries of the First African Baptist Church seek
to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ while meeting the needs of the congregation
and others. We seek to fulfill the spiritual, emotional and physical needs
of the homeless, disadvantaged, lonely, incarcerated, troubled, lost and
discouraged.
Our historic
congregation reaches the youth in various ways, including but not limited
to our after school self esteem and awareness tutorial program, Project
Success and our youth entrepreneur program, AMEN Enterprises.
The men of
the church minister through the Trusted Partners ministry while assisting
in the Jail ministry and the Path Finders Support groups who help people
find support in many different areas of life including rediscovering life
after substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, etc.). A primary resource
in this ministry is the General Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgias
Land of Promise.
First African
Baptist members partner with the Economic Opportunity Authority of Savannah,
Georgia to help reduce and eliminate despair and homelessness through
its various programs including Independence Center. Members of the church
and those related to members of the church can participate in the growing
ministry of the FAB Church Federal Credit Union.
In an effort
to remain (or become) physically fit and avoid conditions, hazards and
situations that are not conducive to good health, the Collier/ McDew Health
Promotions Coalition assist in providing invaluable services from health
screening to affordable home ownership.
Jesus came
to seek and save those who were lost. He met many needs in His quest to
reach the unreachable. At First African Baptist Church, we
desire to do the same with the resources that God has given us..
