International Missions
Following the example of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek to impact our city, our state, our nation, and our world. As believers we are called to go beyond the walls of our comfort and convenience to reach the hurting and hopeless with the good news of Jesus Christ.
God has called us to be ambassadors of His love and grace available through Christ. He has also called us authenticate our words through practical deeds of kindness and love at home and around the world. Warwick Central has had an impact. Many parishioners have taken mission trips to the Dominican Republic to help build a hospital; to Nicaragua to provide housing and health care, and most recently to El Salvador, where we have helped build four homes for families, and provided funds and supplies for the local Baptist elementary school, seminary, and church.
We have established a sister church relationship with the Iglesia Bautista in Jucuapa.
Denominational mission that we support include World Mission Offering, America For Christ, One Great Hour of Sharing, and the Retired Ministers and Missionaries Fund, with thousands of dollars generously given by our church family each year.
In addition, our annual mission budget supports United Mission within the denomination, the Baptist Fund of Rhode Island, and the Rhode Island State Council of Churches.
We have undertaken a new ministry in conjunction with the Murrow Indian Children’s Home in Oklahoma. Warwick Central Baptist will be an official sponsor to one of the children at the Home. this will be underwritten by donations to the “Birthday Box” on the piano in the sanctuary. The little girl we have agreed to sponsor is Devanie Lynn Smith. She is a 6 year old and is of Creek Indian origin. Her favorite holiday is Halloween, and her favorite color is pink. she likes to play with dolls and wants to be a teacher when she grows up. Cards and letters can be sent to her at — Murrow Indian Children’s Home
