Missions

Woodbury Baptist Church provides many opportunities for service.  We consider the workplace and community to be the most important places where service, witness, and ministry can take place.

Through the many service opportunities offered at WBC, many of our people have really been drawn to make service a regular part of their life. 

Costa Rica Sister Church
WBC has  a sister church in Costa Rica.  We have had members visit the church, and we sent a mission team of 19 people there in 2008.  Periodically their pastor visits our church.  It is our mission to help them realize their dreams of being a light in a difficult and impoverished community.

Angel Tree is a ministry of love and care for kids who have a parent in prison.  Members and friends buy Christmas gifts for these little "angels."  Woodbury Baptist participates in Christmas gift ministries as well.

The Mitten Tree is a project to collect hats and mittens for Naomi House.  Naomi House provides transitional housing and programs for homeless women and their children.

Refugee Resettlement has been a big priority for WBC in some years.  We have resettled a couple families in our history, and helped them to settle into new life in the United States.

Mission trips sponsored by the Mission Board offer opportunities for individuals and families of all ages to be involved in work/mission trips.  Recent trips have included youth mission trips to Ruiz and Tecate, Mexico, and trips for all ages to Costa Rica, the Murrow Indian Children's Home, Kentucky, Appalachia, and Montana.  s

Loves and Fishes has become an important tradition of serving the hungry of St. Paul.  On the 3rd Monday of every other month, volunteers grocery shop, cook, service, and clean up for persons in that neighborhood.  

The Christian Cupboard, a local food shelf in Woodbury, is heavily supported financially and by volunteers who staff this weekly ministry to the hungry.

Project Home is a ministry to the homeless in the Twin Cities.  WBC partners with other churches in the Twin Cities, a week at a time, to staff an overflow shelter from 5:00 PM until 7:00 AM each day.

Caring Hearts for Homeless People is a ministry where WBC parishioners provide medication, hygiene items, and other supplies to be given to the homeless.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is a ministry to members and friends of our church going through difficult times.  Shawls are knit by volunteers who pray, as they knit, for the person to whom the shawl will be gifted.

Woodbury Baptist church supports a number of American Baptist colleges and seminaries, as well other American Baptist missions.
