Missions
Missions are a way of life at Eden Westside Baptist Church. Our mission is to guide members to an understanding of the Biblical Mandate on Missions, found in Acts 1:8, that we are to share Jesus Christ with others, both locally and internationally. We are to educate the church members about Southern Baptist Mission work, including the history, present work and the future direction of the International Mission Board and the North American Mission Board. We are to lead members on mission trips, both locally and internationally. We are to encourage participation and pray for all missions' activities anywhere and in which the church participates. Finally, we are to be partners with God as we claim Habakkuk 1:5 as our vision for missions, "Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed! For I am going to do something in your days that you would not have believed even if I had told you."
Missions are at the core of what we do and embedded into our culture with all ages. Adults, teens, children and preschoolers are all taught about missions and involved in age-specific mission projects.
International Missions
Eden Westside has partnered with the country of Haiti and plans several mission trips each year to share the gospel and minister to the Haitian people. Our Pastor leads crusades where thousands of people hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and are led to a personal relationship with Him. If you have an interest in these International mission efforts, please contact Bro. Scotty Pinson.
National Missions
Our church participates in national mission trips to minister in less fortunate areas of the country. We also ask our church members to give to the Annie Armstrong Easter offering which helps fund all of our National Missionaries who are sent out from the North American Mission Board (NAMB).
Local Missions
"Step Up" has started back and is just one of our local missions. This is a program for our local Eden Elementary School. We are blessed to be able to partner with the school and be able to share the love of God with the students and the teachers at the school. Our Children's Minister, Brother Warren, heads up a team every other Tuesday to go to the school to perform funny skits and presentations to encourge the children to come to Church and come to know the love of God. If you love working with children this may be the perfect opportunity for you to serve.
Campus Missions
We have a very large campus missions plan with two campus and over 89 acres of land and facilities. Our Maintenance Team of volunteers work hard all year. God has blessed us with a BEAUTIFUL church at both of our campuses and a lot of play room here at the Pell City campus, but He also wants us to take care of what He has given us. Several men and women come every week and serve here at the church. We have groups that weed eat, some that paint, some that clean, some that go to our River Campus and cut grass or clean, some that work hard keeping our creek property looking good, and some that do a little bit of everything. If you have a talent and interest to work on our Maintenance Missions Team, please contact Bro. Scotty Pinson.
