Outreach Ministries

At Mancelona Baptist Church we believe God has called all who follow Him to be a missionary. Ephesians 4:11 says, “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.” He has also given us all gifts to use for His honor and glory, and we believe in encouraging our members to use those gifts to spread the gospel of Christ through our outreach ministries.

Soul Winning

Mark 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Every Saturday church members meet to conduct visitation. We go door to door, visit our Sunday service visitors, visit the sick, visit members, write letters, or make telephone calls. During the coldest weeks of the year and other inclement weather we may postpone until the following week.
