CHARLESTON BAPTIST TEMPLE MISSIONS

Charleston Baptist Temple is a mission-minded, serving community in Christ. We have long been a congregation strong on mission support and bold to form new missions in the Charleston community. Through the American Baptist Churches USA and the West Virginia Baptist Convention, we extend our mission internationally, nationally, statewide, and within our own neighborhood.

In recent years, we have helped start neighborhood-based ministries, such as: Covenant House, which offers services for the homeless, those with HIV/AIDS and a drop-in emergency assistance center; Manna Meals, where two free meals are served daily to the hungry and homeless; the Religious Coalition for Community Renewal, which serves those in need of affordable housing; and the East End Family Resource Center, which brings together all segments of the community to provide support, resources, and programs for residents of the East End to make the East End a family-friendly neighborhood.

Charleston Baptist Temple initiated and houses PRO-Kids , an after-school tutoring and enrichment ministry to elementary-age children from a nearby school. Our members volunteer to serve with these and many other local programs as an expression of their Christian commitment.

Project CAN-DO is a year-round effort to collect food staples and money for the Food Pantry at Covenant House. We have been involved with refugee families from around the world who have found their way to Charleston. In 2002 Baptist Temple committed to a five-year Russian sister church relationship.

Baptist Temple is also one of the top mission-giving churches within the West Virginia Baptist Convention and the entire American Baptist denomination. We give more than $109,000 to missions each year, and our members and young people often volunteer in local, national, or international mission work projects.
