Missions
For Richardson. For the World.
Our Missions Ministry at FBCR is centered on the idea of making disciples – both near and far. There are numerous ways to serve, both locally and beyond, and respond in obedience to the Great Commission. We invite anyone and everyone to join us as we impact our community for Christ.
Mission Spotlight

Backpack Bash
In the summer of 2018 our church began a mission. That mission was to get into the hands every student of need in RISD the supplies they needed to start off their school year. As the event grew we partnered with RISD and the community so that we could serve more students. Every year we come together to give and volunteer our time to the community of Richardson.
Love Local

Food For Families
On the second Saturday of each month, our Food for Families team picks up food from North Texas Food Bank, sorts it on church campus, and receives families struggling with hunger needs as they pick up their personalized, nutritionally balanced food. Normally, we provide 7 days of food for every month. Click the buttons below to volunteer or to help a family that may benefit from this ministry.

Austin Street Center
On the 4th Thursday of every month, our church prepares, delivers, and serves 450 baked potatoes with all the fixings to our homeless neighbors at Austin Street Center. In addition to that, we also spend time developing relationships and praying with those at the shelter.

Merry Mat Makers
A creative way to recycle plastic bags and make sleep mats for our homeless neighbors while joining a great group of encouraging prayer warriors in blessing some of the least of these. Join these ladies throughout the week to continue the process or find out what you can do at home that will help them simplify their process and be of value to others.

Smile Stitchers
Smile Stitchers is a ministry that has been featured in news media more than once. This group of dedicated Stitchers comes together for fellowship and a labor of love. The labor comes in the form of little finger puppets that they sew together to give to children’s hospitals for kids that are sick and undergoing different medical treatments. These lovely little gifts help to comfort and distract the kids.

Church Under the Tree
This outreach to homeless neighbors in Plano meets weekly at Haggard Park beginning with lunch at 1:30PM on Sundays. Come join us in providing a much needed meal, friendship and a Gospel message with these neighbors. If you would like more information about this ministry please click the button below.

The Network of Community Ministries
The Mission statement of The Network of Community Ministries states: “Our mission is to care, coach, and empower our neighbors in need as they seek an improved quality of life.” Over 30 years ago, our church was part of a network of churches that came together to create The Network of Community Ministries. Our job now is to support the continuation of that ministry. You can do so by volunteering your time to serve. If you want to do this, please follow the link to become a Network volunteer.

The Great Commission Fund
The Great Commission Fund is an integral part of our annual mission budget. These funds support many different aspects of our mission budget for the year. Because this is a fund and not an offering, you can give to the GCF all year long. Each year, funds are collected for the following year. November and December are our most significant times of giving to this fund, so please do not miss this opportunity to give to the mission of our church as we seek to bring healing and wholeness to our community and beyond!
