The policy of this church is to support
missions engaged principally in New Testament evangelism and church
planting. A missionary should have a clear salvation
testimony, be mature in the faith, and be actively involved in the
church ministries, especially in evangelism. Each missionary
supported by our church is in agreement with our Articles of Faith,
both in doctrine and in practice, and Baptist in name as well as
policy, and is part of a separated, fundamental missions agency,
which emphasizes planting separated, fundamental, independent
Baptist churches. Our major emphasis for support is to both
home and foreign church planting
missionaries.

Each Missionary supported by our
church
- Writes to the church at least quarterly about his
work.
- Visits the church at least every 5 years and report in person on
his work during a service, unless his work prohibits.
- Provides an annual assessment of ministries on the field and of
financial needs.
|
- In Return Our Church
- Prays regularly for each missionary and his work.
- Provides regular financial support by systematic giving and
special offerings.
- Encourages the missionaries with our letters and gifts as the
Lord allows.
- When possible, visits each missionary on the field at some time
during his missionary career to provide encouragement and assistance in the
ministry where appropriate.

Missionary Bulletin Board devoted to
missionary information is maintained in the foyer of the church to provide information
about our missionaries, their fields of service, and current correspondence from
them.
Missions Conferences are held
annually to promote missions among the congregation and to further expose the members
to the possibility of missionary service. At this time, the conference is scheduled in
late March and is a round-robin conference with sister independent Baptist churches in
the northern NJ area. Missionaries also speak in Parsippany Christian School as a part of the conference.
Mission Trips are planned
periodically to assist missionaries on their fields in the work as we are invited to
visit and work with them. Members are encouraged to participate to provide a better
understanding of the work and call of missions.
Flags representing countries and US
states where our missionaries serve are displayed in the auditorium to remind our
congregation to pray regularly for the missionary work in these areas.
