Providence Reaches Out
Providence touches many lives through a variety of ministries, including:
Foreign Missions
Through the work of World Witness, our denomination reaches people in Mexico, Russia, Germany, and other fields, with members of our own church family currently serving in Pakistan and Turkey.
Short Term Missions
Providence has been represented in recent years through its members participating in ‘short term’ mission trips to Romania, Wales, and Dearborn, MI. We will be represented in early July 2009 through a Bible School in the Appalachians. Evangelistic Bible Studies A variety of Bible studies are conducted in homes of members, as well as at the church, where the claims of Christ are presented through the study of God’s Word. Kid’s Night Out This ministry touches families in our community by providing opportunity for their children to be exposed to the love of God in a fun and challenging way, allowing mom and dad a chance to spend time alone together, knowing that their children are in a safe and wholesome environment. Baptist East ICU On the second Thursday of the month a team provides lunches and comfort to families of patients in the intensive care unit at Baptist East. MVP Summer Camp Conducted each summer, this ministry has been instrumental in making disciples of young people throughout the Mid-South for over 25 years.
