I'M READY TO GO ALL IN THROUGH SERVING

We’re excited to see you’re taking the steps towards serving others. Please complete the following information and we’ll be in touch with you soon.

HELP US SERVE IN OUR COMMUNITY

Communities all around the Upstate need love, support, encouragement and above all hope, the hope of Jesus. There are many ways you can join us in sharing that hope as we serve our local communities. Get involved today!

REACHING OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY

While we serve and invest all over the nation and world, we are extremely passionate about local missions. Below are a few ways we seek to make an eternal difference in the Upstate. Click any of the areas to learn more.

We partner with churches and schools in our community to help serve students, teachers and administrators. Our Objective: To serve the emotional, social, and academic needs of public school children through one-on-one mentoring relationships, supporting and serving schools, teachers and staff and building relationships that where we can share the love of Jesus. Currently, we have partnered with 12 local schools. Join us as we make an eternal difference in our community. 

We have a strong commitment to helping build up families across the Upstate communities. Foster families and adoptive families are loved on and find strong communities of love and support. In addition, resources and special events are designed to create community and provide help. And single parents can know they have committed partners in helping them manage the demands and challenges of parenting.

For more info, contact Jill Adair at [email protected].

We have addiction recovery support groups that meet on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm. Our men’s group meets in the College Street Cafe and is facilitated by Bram Porter. We have women counselors available who are willing to come alongside any woman struggling with addiction. Please contact Kathy Robinson for more info at [email protected]. Men and women of all ages are welcome.

When disaster, tragedy, or difficult times arise we want the Upstate community to know we are here for them. We have relief assistance programs and teams ready to respond and make a difference. We want the communities around us to feel the love of Jesus through all of our relief and assistance efforts. We partner with Samaritan Purse and SCB Disaster Relief.

SERVE AROUND THE WORLD

A CHURCH FOR THE WORLD (INTERNATIONAL)

God’s word tells us to go to the ends of the earth with the love, compassion and the promise of Jesus. This is an important part of our DNA. We help train and equip everyone so they can effectively serve on an international missions team. We believe everyone has unique, God-given gifts that allow them to impact people’s lives across the world.

We have sent international mission teams to places like Brazil, Cuba, Honduras, and Thailand. We offer sports camps, vacation bible school, construction, medicine, leadership training, and more. We desire to reach the world with the love and grace that we experience in Jesus Christ.

A CHURCH FOR OUR NATION (NATIONAL)

Together we can make a difference in areas and disaster hotspots across the United States. We have always been quick responders to disasters that have occurred in recent years. In addition, we have sought partnerships with organizations across the country to help enable our people and our resources to love and serve those in need.

We have sent national mission teams to places like Atlanta, Alaska, Alabama, Savannah, West Virginia, North Carolina (JAARS) and New York City (Samaritan’s Purse). Many teams serve in construction, vacation bible school, sports camps, and more. The common thread is to share the love and hope found in Jesus with as many as possible. Begin praying now for how God may lead you to be a part of one of our national missions teams.

Missions Pastor

My service at First Baptist Simpsonville/Upstate Church began in September of 1992 as Student Minister. I was passionate about bringing students to know and follow Jesus! One of the things that drew me to Simpsonville was that our church placed high priority on missions. Now, I have the great privilege of serving as the Executive Pastor of Missions. Getting to serve alongside members on trips and witness their gifts is my greatest joy. When I am not serving in the church, you can find me working out at the gym, relaxing with my family, watching College Football or Golfing. My wife Kim and I have two adult children. We love hanging out with them and their families. Being able to spend time with our 5 grandchildren brings so much joy to our lives.
