  Missions is the work of God through the people-the Church-by which the gospel of Jesus Christ is extended in word and deed to all the people of the world.

Our missions emphasis currently is providing financial support to missionaries. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering used for missions in countries other than our own, was a huge success. Our Georgia Barnette State Missions Offering is designated to help missionaries and mission ministries here in our own state of Louisiana. The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering will lend incredible support to the missionaries in our won country, its territories, and Canada. Giving of our financial means is one specific way we can spread the Gospel.

Our annual Ladies Conference will be held on April 23, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. Invite friends, neighbors, or other loved ones to come participate in an evening of worship. Our program will highlight a dynamic speaker Linda Jackson and a talented chalk artist/soloist Melanie Myers.

It is important that all people have the opportunity to radically participate in the mission of God. Therefore, at Ascension Baptist Church we encourage members to learn about missions, become involved in missions, and live a lifestyle that exemplifies missions. One way we do this is through the organizations known as Women's Missionary Union (WMU) and Women's Ministry. Through these organizations, members learn about the work and needs of missionaries and have opportunities to participate personally in missions projects.

A commitment to involvement in missions is an answer to God's call to love. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39
