Ministries
Make An Impact for the Heavenly Kingdom
Apartment Ministries
We have active ministries in Alachua Apartments. An event is held about every six weeks. Patti Kaswinkel and the Acteens of Alachua share the Gospel through a puppet show depicting salvation, serve food, and provide craft projects.
Baptist Collegiate Ministry
The Baptist Collegiate Ministry exists to connect local college students to a relationship with Jesus. The BCM exists to partner with local churches, challenge students to be active in ministry on campus, and to provide programs to help students mature.
Church Planter Partnerships
We facilitate relationships between church planters and member churches to assist the church planters as they engage our community to share the Gospel. Our member churches provide mentoring, encouragement, support, and wisdom for our church planters.
Alachua County Fair Ministries
Each year, during the 3rd week of October, we host a booth at the Alachua County Fair to share the Gospel and to make the community aware of our member churches. Volunteers from member churches use a variety of ways to share Jesus.
