Missions

As disciples, we are ever seeking to participate in what God is doing, locally and globally. Opportunities for serving in creative ways abound.

Giving

Those of us worshiping as a part of the Central community are invited and encouraged to support our Baptist partners with generous giving. We give to support missionaries who are specifically trained and hold expertise for their fields - essentially, those who are prepared to do the things that many of us cannot. Special, seasonal offerings are received to support particular agencies. Throughout the year, however, a percentage of all of our general offerings is set aside for missions. Per our Baptist tradition, individuals have the freedom to declare which mission agency/ies they would like their offering to support (i.e., VBMB, CBF, SBC, a combination). The missions percentage from those gifts which remain undeclared will go to the standing mission plan that our church has on file with the Virginia Baptist Mission Board. To designate the mission percentage of your regular tithes and offerings to a particular denominational partner, please leave a message in the main office for Nicole Averette, financial assistant, or e-mail her at nicoleaverette (at) live (dot) com .
