Members of First Baptist have a long-standing relationship with their fellow Baptists in the country of Belize, Central America. For almost 18 years, teams have been traveling from Lexington to the Baptist Training Center near Belmopan, the country’s capital, to aid in strengthening Christian work.

Many have worked to construct the camp’s buildings, while others have conducted Bible studies for adults and children in the surrounding churches. A joint effort with CBF of North Carolina trains Belizean pastors.

In addition, members of First Baptist Church contribute widely to other mission causes throughout the world, including a special interest in Southeast Asia.
