Missions

First Baptist Durango has a long history of commitment to missions. For decades, our church has dedicated 25% of its annual budget to ministry beyond our four walls. We are eager to participate in what God is doing around the world and deeply thankful for the missionaries we have the privilege of supporting.

Our Missionary Care Team works hard to stay connected with each of our missionaries, care for and encourage them, and ensure that the ministries we support remain aligned with our Statement of Faith and are faithfully advancing the gospel.

The Endowment Fund

One neat expression of our commitment to Missions as a church is “The Endowment Fund”. This is a fund that exists to send those who are a part of First Baptist Durango to go out and share the good news of Jesus Christ both locally and globally! Please read more HERE
