SIMPLE GIFTS: 2015 MISSIONS GIFT CATALOG
MISSIONS & MINISTRY AT FBCX
FBCX’s commitment to missions runs deep. From its founding in 1826, FBCX has continually sought to embody the Gospel both in our area and around the world. From starting many
Baptist churches in the Macon area to establishing the first Southern Baptist hospital in China in 1903, FBCX’s mission has extended grace to neighbors near and far. Today, FBCX partners
most closely with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, both nationally and in Georgia.
Giving SIMPLE GIFTS this holiday seasonFBCX is offering a gift catalog for those who would like to give to our missions partners in honor of loved ones and
friends this holiday season. Special gift cards are available in the church office to use as indicators that you have helped someone in need rather than purchasing a traditional gift.
Using the order form located in the back of the catalog, make your selections, and turn in the order form to the church office along with your contribution. We’ll make sure the worthy ministries listed here receive your gift.
