Missions

Nashville is a great place to call home. Although our community has multiple churches from a variety of different denominations, our prayer and mission is still to share the gospel with our entire community. Missions starts at home.

The state of Arkansas has a long and storied history in the BMA, and our desire is to continue evangelizing our state through the support of our state missions department as well as physically doing missions when the need arises. This will be through financial support and prayerful planning of what God would have us do.

Global missions can appear to be a daunting task for one person or church, but when we collectively seek God's will there is nothing to big that He can not accomplish. We are reminded in scripture that God desires that all will come to repentance. We will financially support missionaries around the word and when God allows, We will physically go!

The Risners share the gospel through relational evangelism and
outreach programs, seeking to establish new churches while building
meaningful relationships.

Their ministry includes:
• Annual VBS programs for children.
• English camps to engage with the community.
• Christmas shoe and coat drives to serve families in need.
• Weekly children’s programs to teach biblical truths from an early age.
• Relational evangelism courses, equipping believers to share their faith effectively.

By filling ordinary shoeboxes full of toys and other fun items, you can be part of giving boys and girls what may be their first gift ever!
Local churches in more than 100 nations hand out these Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts at festive outreach events where the Gospel is presented in a child-friendly way. Each box bursting with items such as a soccer ball, doll, or stuffed animal becomes a tangible expression of God’s love to the child, their family, and their community.
Many shoebox recipients also participate in our 12-lesson follow-up discipleship program, The Greatest Journey.
