EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH MINISTRY

”Let your heart retain my words; keep my commands and live. Get Wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; love her and she will keep you. Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” Proverbs 4:4-7 (KJV)

In support of the Pastor’s vision for First Baptist Church, the Educational Outreach Ministry will plan and implement a supplemental bible-based program of training and educational empowerment for First Baptist Church congregants and the broader community.

ACTIVITIES:

The Educational Outreach Ministry will provide experiences and opportunities that will lead program participants from educational failure to educational success, from economic dependence to self-reliance, from feelings of hopelessness to confidence in possibilities for achievement, and ultimately from joblessness to employability. These experiences/opportunities may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Elementary and Secondary Seminars for Students and Parents
• SAT Preparation Sessions
• The Marshall Heights Community Development Organization (MHCDO)
• Scholarship- Investment Program (SIP)
