First Baptist continued to maintain significant and generous support for local missional outreach in the year 2010. Much of that support is reflected in the following information which is representative of what we do but not a complete list of our annual involvements. One of the great missions that we at FBC provide is local outreach to groups who have no “home” for meetings. We are one of the few facilities that are handicapped accessible in a manner that encourages and welcomes individuals with handicapping conditions to visit and meet in our Center for Ministry. Many groups that have no financial resources to rent space come to First Baptist seeking permission to meet here. The following is an example of some of the groups that we extend mission and care to by opening the doors and being inviting… The Iroquois Association of American Baptist Pastors meets several times a year for worship, teaching and fellowship. The Home Schooling Group of Central New York meet periodically as parents share resources, occasionally children come from activities, the HSG Board meets for conference planning. The Iroquois Nursing Home Administration and Staff and memorial services take place at FBC. The Syracuse Korean Community has had organization meetings and their annual New Year celebration dinner have been in the Center for Ministry and on the campus. The Advocates local group of parents and Board meet periodically. The Advocates music therapy group for several handicapped children meets for several weeks a year in the music room or fellowship hall. The Boy Scouts also meet here a few times a year. There is a group that contributes a negotiated fee for use of the Center, the Institute for Retired Professionals related to SU (twice a month). Our partnership ministry includes The River of Joy who meets at least 5+ times a week for worship, training, prayer and fellowship. The Korean School meets weekly for two semesters for four hours on Sunday afternoons, and ABCNYS also hosts larger meetings at FBC.
