Local Transformational Missions’ focus is in the following areas:

HELPING CHURCHES – BE ON MISSION
Baptists go on mission the world over. It’s what we do. It’s what we’re known for. We can be on mission locally and globally at the same time as we are on mission for Christ in our own community. Today, God is bringing people from around the world to our communities. Our Great Commission is to be on mission in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the rest of the world (Acts 1:8).

CHANGING COMMUNITIES
Churches are constantly challenged by the changing needs of their communities. Texas Baptists can see many opportunities to follow the biblical mandate to feed the hungry, provide water for the thirsty, to clothe the naked, and to seek justice while spreading God’s Word (Matthew 25). Our challenge is thinking beyond the walls of our churches to being on mission in our neighborhoods and communities bringing God’s Shalom for the church and the community.

TRANSFORMING LIVES
Texas Baptists can look at their community’s specific needs and the church’s strengths. The church can develop a mission strategy and an action plan that is focused on transformation of the lives of people in need and in the lives of those who are serving.
