Christian Herald Newsletter

Fifth Ward Missionary Baptist Church (FWMBC) Christian Herald is a monthly newsletter which focuses on biblical teaching, church and social events within the Fifth Ward community. The purpose of this newsletter is to minister to anyone blessed to read it, in hopes that it will meet a need in their life. This newsletter is published and available on the first Sunday of every month.

The Christian Herald also features special days and events in the church such as: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, births, baby blessings, advertisements, and special tributes to old and new members.

Church Nursery

Open during worship services each Sunday

Preschoolers are indeed special people at FWMBC. Our preschool ministers to children from birth to age 5 in a variety of ways. It is our hope that our Nursery and other preschool ministries will allow your child to associate God, Jesus, and the Bible with happy feelings, to develop a sense of self-worth, and to begin to show love, respect, and acceptance for others.

Education Committee

The goal of the Education Committee is to encourage every member of the Church to pursue every avenue that leads to higher education. To that end all graduates from all grade levels are honored on the 2nd Sunday in June each year. In addition, scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors.

Food Pantry for Emergency Needs

Provides assistance to our church family and others in the community with non-perishable food items. They provide food to any one in need and Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets to the Sick and Shut-In of the church as well as anyone who is referred to them.

Helping Hands Ministry

This ministry provides culinary assistance for in-house church events with a goal of serving with love and hospitality in the Spirit of Christ.

Nurses’ Aid Board

The Nurse Aide Board is a uniformed group of females and males with diversities in ages, backgrounds and careers united in sharing the same belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We are willing to give of ourselves through service, time and love of our fellow church family and neighbor.

“For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)

We focus on spirit-filled comforting and assistance, First Aid & Emergency Assistance and Health Education Awareness, Health Awareness Fairs and activities.

It is a special joy to meet new members who join our church family. New Members are encouraged to attend New Member Orientation.

Meeting times are Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m. In These sessions you will learn what we believe the Bible teaches concerning:

Salvation Assured
Discipleship
The Church
Stewardship

Each new member will be introduced to the Ministry opportunities in the church and be encouraged to join one of these Ministries as soon as orientation is completed.
