Called to Go: Our Mission Partners

At FBCC, missions is at the heart of who we are. We are grateful for the opportunities God has given us to serve—both in our local community and across the world. Whether we are going or sending, our goal remains the same: to share the love of Christ and make disciples of all nations. Here are some of the ways we are answering the call to go.

Weir Baptist Camp

Weir Baptist Camp, located at 1148 NE Highway 103, Weir, Kansas, is owned and operated by the Southeast Kansas Baptist Association. Nestled in a beautiful natural setting, the camp offers transformative Christian experiences for children, youth, and adults. With facilities including cabins, dining halls, and a large worship center, Weir Baptist Camp is ideal for church retreats, family reunions, and various events. Our mission is to strengthen the ministry of the Church, equip its members to serve, and share God's love locally and abroad. Join us to grow in faith and community.

Jeff and Stephanie Bys

Jeff and Stephanie Bys serve in Kenya alongside their seven children, dedicating their lives to providing hope and a future for vulnerable children. In 2017, they founded Mercy Children’s Home, which now serves as a full-time home for over 100 orphaned and at-risk children. Their ministry expanded in 2019 with the opening of Mercy Christian Academy, where more than 230 students receive a Christ-centered education. Each day at the academy begins with chapel and ends with a Bible study curriculum, ensuring that spiritual growth is at the heart of their mission. Mercy Ministries operates entirely through donor support, making every contribution vital to the lives they impact.

Spencer and Sara serve with Bridges International, reaching the nearly 50,000 international students studying at USC, UCLA, and other colleges across the Los Angeles metro area.
