The FBCSA family mobilized to live out the Gospel in this city through rhythms of everyday life, bringing healing and hope through the power of the Gospel in tangible ways.
Projects and programs are not the mission; making disciples of a PEOPLE who live in a particular PLACE is the mission.
IT IS INTENTIONAL. IT IS LONG TERM. IT IS INVESTED.
REGULAR PEOPLE LIVING ORDINARY LIVES WITH GREAT GOSPEL INTENTIONALITY.

MINISTRY OF PRAYER
Prayer is the real work of ministry. Will you pray with us?
We have prayer teams and scheduled prayer times. We have prayer quilts that help you focus on people who need healing or peace. You can pray on Sunday mornings, Wednesday afternoons, or Thursday mornings in a group. We also have prayer walking teams that go out into the city to be a witness of God's saving power. We still need more to pray for the nations, for neighbors, and for revival. What can you do? There is nothing holding you back!
MINISTRY TO MILITARY
In our military city, we have a duty to honor those who have served us
There are many opportunities that you can be a part of on-base and off-base. We mostly participate with the CRU Military Discipleship ministry at Lackland AFB. There are needs for teachers and leaders. You can also honor families and veterans with Broken Warriors' Angels. We currently need a coordinator for the military ministry in general so we can make a significant impact.
MINISTRY OF RELIEF
Through Texans on Mission you can do almost anything
For years we have been a part of a chainsaw team that responds to disasters. Now you are able to volunteer with feeding units, laundry units, and more. There are even international deployments to places like Israel.
MINISTRY OF WITNESS
We are all supposed to share the Gospel. It's not a spiritual gifting. It's a command. Let's go!
Do you have a heart for the lost? Let's reimagine what witnessing can look like in your neighborhood, workplace, or family. Also, if you understand being a witness as obeying the Great Commission, then you will make disciples and not converts. Let's go door-to-door, start an area-ministry-fellowship in your zip code, utilize the Bless Every Home app to pray, care, share, and disciple. Join special outreach events and train up to go into prisons with Kairos.
