There are many missionaries and ministries that we support, each with their own unique mission and purpose. Some of the ministries we support focus on providing aid and resources to those in need, while others work to spread the Gospel to people all around the world. We believe that these ministries are doing important work, and we are proud to stand behind them and support them in any way that we can. Whether it's through volunteering our time, donating money or resources, or simply spreading the word about their work, we are committed to helping these missionaries and ministries succeed and make a positive impact on the world.

Scott and Kate Cope, Church Planters
The region of New England, which was once known for its notable preachers like Jonathan Edwards and Adoniram Judson, now has one of the highest rates of unchurched individuals in the country. Massachusetts and New Hampshire are tied for being the least religious states in America. Additionally, the Boston metropolitan area, of which Bedford is a part, is ranked as the second least Bible-minded city in the country. With this in mind, Scott and Kate aim to establish a church in Bedford, Massachusetts that prioritizes spreading the gospel, promoting good health, and encouraging multiplication.

Mission: Dignity
GuideStone Financial Resources has been dedicated to providing dignity to retired Southern Baptist ministers, workers, and their widows since 1918. These individuals served God's people with unwavering devotion but now face financial hardships. With modest salaries from small rural churches, many of these faithful servants had to work extra jobs just to make ends meet. Mission:Dignity has stepped in to help nearly 1,800 people with additional funds for housing, food, and essential medications. This assistance has not only provided financial relief, but also a sense of independence and dignity, allowing many of them to continue serving their communities.
