Child Sponsorship Goal: 100 Children

This year we're beginning a 10 year church partnership with the Rodeo Grande community in Nicaragua.  We'll begin with child and family sponsorships as we work alongside the community and our partners on the ground, Food for the Hungry.

Volunteer Opportunities & Local Partnerships

Below are some ways you can serve your community. Most church events and local partners rely on volunteers to remain functional and ongoing. There are a variety of opportunities for people to serve, whether on the campus of FBCA or out in the community.

Donate Needed Items

Local missions, often in its most basic form, are getting supplies and food to people in need. For example, you can donate requested items, like food, diapers and cleaning supplies, at one of the collection events held at the church for local partners, like Alive.

Good Neighbor Program

Join this team and help settle new immigrant families in the area by providing household supplies. If you are interested in serving new neighbors in Alexandria with the transition and acclimate to life in Virginia please reach out!

Mentor Students

In every area of missions our goal is to develop relationships with others. However, some volunteer work is more focused on building relationships than others, and this is certainly the case with the Mentoring Program at Casa Chirilagua. Building relationships present us with the opportunity to listen, understand, and acknowledge people’s purpose and value. As people share with us, we have opportunities to share our lives and God’s good work within it. Spend an hour each with a local student and allow God to use you to make a difference in a life.

Teach ESL

We live in one of the most diverse areas in the country with many opportunities to engage with people from all over the world without having to get on a plane. Teaching English is an important program that we are proud to help support, as men and women adjust to living in America. You can be a helpful part of this process by working with them as they learn English.  

For the Nations DC classes meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday mornings each week at FBCA.
Contact Jesse to find out how you can get involved.

A giving effort that lasts all year:
Cooperative Program

The Cooperative Program (CP) of the Southern Baptist Convention is one of the most dynamic and effective funding models propelling global missions in modern history. Through the CP, every participating church – no matter how large their annual budget or active membership – can be equally invested in a global movement to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations of the world. Launched in 1925, the effectiveness of CP has continued to be dependent upon individuals, churches, state conventions, and SBC entities working toward a common goal of sharing the gospel with every person on the planet.
The CP began as a five-year pledge campaign that, for the first time, included everything— the missions and ministries of all the state conventions as well as that of the Southern Baptist Convention. Thus, a God-given partnership of missions support was conceived.  FBCA is strongly committed to the Cooperative Program which supports missionaries both in North America and throughout the world. Currently, 12 percent of our church budget is designated for the Cooperative Program. By participating with other Southern Baptist Churches we extend our reach to the ends of the earth.  
You may give through FBCA or give directly to disaster relief efforts in Virginia and around the world.
All donations are tax-deductible made to all offerings.
