Our lives, our ministries, and our mission are grounded in three core values that shape everything we do: Worship, Discipleship, and Outreach. Worship is all about loving God, Discipleship is about growing God’s people, and Outreach is about reaching God’s world. If a ministry, event, or goal does not lead us to worship, grow in Christ, or reach others, it is not where our focus will be. 

These values come to life through our three commitments — how we live out this vision daily.

 First, we commit to Edify — building up the Church. This takes place through worship that strengthens faith, discipleship that deepens and matures believers, and outreach that equips people to serve in love and purpose.

Next, we commit to Testify — making Jesus known. Our worship becomes a declaration of who God is. Our discipleship becomes a story of transformation. Our outreach becomes an invitation to encounter the gospel.

Finally, we commit to Glorify — honoring God in everything we do. Whether through worship that welcomes His presence, discipleship that shapes us to look more like Christ, or outreach that reveals His grace, our ultimate purpose is to give Him glory.

As we commit to edify, testify, and glorify, the result is clear: Jesus is exalted above all. This is not just what we do — this is why we do it. Every act of worship, every step of discipleship, and every moment of outreach reflects the heart of our mission.

Our Vision Statement: We worship God, disciple believers, and reach the world — so that Jesus may be exalted above all.

Bible Study Notes February 11

Jesus in the Old Testament

Nehemiah — Rebuilding What Was Broken

 The Burden to Rebuild (Nehemiah 1–2)

Nehemiah hears about Jerusalem’s condition.

Scripture tells us he sat down and wept.

He mourned.  He fasted.  He prayed. Before he ever led publicly, he sought God privately.

Jesus Connection — The Burden Bearer

Nehemiah wept over Jerusalem.

In Luke’s gospel, Jesus also weeps over Jerusalem.

Nehemiah saw physical ruin; Jesus saw spiritual lostness.

But Jesus goes further — He carries our brokenness to the cross.

The Work of Rebuilding (Nehemiah 3–7)

One of the most beautiful parts of Nehemiah is that everyone participates.  The work of God is not done by a few — but by the whole body working together.

Opposition Arises:  As soon as the work begins, opposition shows up.

Jesus also faced constant opposition:   Religious leaders challenged Him.   Spiritual forces resisted Him.   The cross itself stood against Him.

Spiritual Renewal (Nehemiah 8–13) After the wall is completed, the people gather to hear God’s Word.  Jesus Connection — The Greater Restoration Nehemiah rebuilt walls — but could not change hearts.  Jesus fulfills what Nehemiah foreshadows: 

Donations may be dropped off in the fellowship hall, near the storage closet/sound booth area.

WBC, you’ve done it again!  When there’s a need you show up in masses!  Thank you for your response to our food pantry donations.  It has helped us restock our storage closet!   Please remember our food pantry when you see things buy one get one free or a special on any canned goods.  The need is ever present.  We are feeding our neighbors right here in Winterville

For more than 25 years, Baptists on Mission has served alongside the people of Eastern Cuba. Just two weeks ago, our friends awoke to the devastation left by Hurricane Melissa - uprooted trees, downed power lines, collapsed buildings, and the loss of electricity and safe drinking water.

It will be months before the island returns to anything close to normal, but right now we have the opportunity to offer assistance by helping clean up after the storm as well as other future needs. Our teams are also assessing opportunities in Jamaica to see how we might serve.

If you’re interested in volunteering or donating to purchase supplies and materials,
you can sign up on the website. 100% of all gifts designated to Hurricane Melissa will be used to assist individuals affected by the storm.

Baptists on Mission is responding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the mountains of western North Carolina. We’ve set up large feeding and recovery (mud out, tear out, chainsaw, etc.) operations in 14 locations in Western North Carolina.

Volunteers are helping in feeding; shower and laundry; chain saw teams; tarping roofs; mudding and tearing out homes; and more. You don’t need to be trained to serve with some of these opportunities. Please know that we will have many opportunities to serve for many weeks, months and years to come. Your team may very well be more needed a month or two from now than they are right now.

You can sign up to volunteer as well as give financially to support the relief efforts by clicking here https://baptistsonmission.org/. All financial gifts go directly to assist those impacted by the storm.

Thank you for helping us offer hope to families affected by this massive storm. Please continue to pray for everyone impacted by Hurricane Helene, including first responders and our volunteers.
