Missions

God calls all believers to be a witness of his transformational grace in their everyday life . Through our mission efforts, we strive to inspire, equip and enable our members to be a witness in our community, in our nation and in our world.

Local Mission Opportunities

  • Benevolence Ministry

    The Benevolence Ministry provides limited, short-term financial assistance to those who are in crisis; particularly in the case of essential needs (i.e. food, electricity, rent and water). A crisis is considered a short-term struggle that needs to be managed immediately as opposed to an ongoing yearly struggle. Assistance can be provided to MVBC members as well as individuals in the community. In addition to the financial grant, the ministry is designed to come alongside the person in need and offer other avenues of assistance (i.e. simple home repair, car repair, prayer support, recovery/addiction support, etc.) through volunteers within the church. Great care will be given to assist individuals in connecting with community, charitable, and social service organizations that can give additional support as well. The desire is to walk with the person in the development of healthier financial management; not just to provide a one-time quick fix.

  • Feeding the Hungry

    We are currently serving the Hungry/Homeless with sack lunches. We prepare lunches at MVBC and take them to either Mt. Moriah Baptist Church or Swansboro Baptist Church, where they are distributed to those in need. We prepare lunches three times a month, 1st and 2nd Friday and 3rd Monday of each month, and they consist of two sandwiches, chips, a fruit cup, cookies and a bottle of water.

  • Operation Christmas Child Warehouse Trips

    The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Mount Vernon partners with Samaritan’s Purse to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations. We pack shoeboxes in November, serve as a Collection Center for our area and take several trips to the Operation Christmas Child Warehouse to be a part of the final shipping stage of the shoeboxes.
