Pennsylvania

Mission teams serve each year throughout Pennsylvania and South Jersey in a variety of ways, including VBS, sports camps, backyard Bible clubs, block parties, music outreach, new construction, renovation, and more.

Overview

Through Baptists on Mission’s Partnership with Pennsylvania, teams serve alongside church planters and pastors in both rural and urban areas. In addition to ministry expertise and resources, volunteer teams offer Christian encouragement and prayer – a valuable resource in a region where there is not an evangelical church on every corner. There is great excitement for the contribution North Carolina Baptists are making in Pennsylvania. Find out how you and your church can make a Kingdom difference in the Keystone State!
