MISSION BLITZ 2024

Save the date for our
‘Day of Community Service’:
Sunday, September 22, 2024

150+ volunteers are needed to serve at our
Partner Elementary Schools in Maryland.

Purpose and Impact.

Missions Blitz is “Service to the Community” by promoting healthy life styles. This event allows for servants of our congregation to engage in a day of community service to the residents of Anne Arundel County, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia. This has been woven into our 116-year old tapestry of traditions at the First Baptist Church, Inc., North Brentwood. Under the leadership of our Senior Pastor, Reverend Dr. Duane T. Kay, we are moving forward in faith to build upon our rich heritage. 

Mission Blitz servants assist and serve multiple sites to help create a better environment for others, create healthier communities, spread love and show Christ through service. Over the past ten years of Missions Blitz we have impacted more than 10,000 lives in the Metropolitan area through food donations, providing meals, clothing donations, and beautification projects.
