Christmas at the Cove 2025 was a tremendous success, and we are truly in awe of the many ways First Baptist Church came together to make this event so special. Thanks to the dedication of more than 115 volunteers who served during setup and throughout the event, we were able to invite 141 families to shop for a total of 325 children! Families not only had the opportunity to shop for gifts but were also able to choose a pair of socks and a book - small touches that made a big difference. Kids enjoyed crafts and games before joining back up with their families for pizza, hot chocolate, and a photo booth. We’ve already received several heartfelt messages from families sharing how much the experience meant to them. First Baptist Church, you showed up in remarkable ways!
FEATURED PARTNER
Living Hope
In 2023, we partnered with Living Hope to convert our underutilized basement space into a day shelter. The shelter is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9AM to 1PM and provides help to our unhoused neighbors. The volunteers provide a comfortable place to rest, breakfast, coffee, and help connecting those in need with nearby non-profits.

LOCAL
Tuesday Night
Ministries
Every Tuesday Night, we serve a community meal to our neighbors. This ministry has expanded to include a shower trailer and clothing closet!
There are multiple ways to get involved with our Tuesday Night Ministry. We need volunteers to help with the cooking, serving, clothing closet, shower trailer, and more.
NATIONAL
CBF Partners
We have partnered with Missionaries around the country through our connection with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF). In 2022 our students traveled to Corbin, Kentucky and worked at the Baptist Housing facility, a 64 unit living facility for elderly and mobility-impaired adults.
In 2023, we partnered with Forest Hills Baptist Church and CBF’s very own Welcome House ministry to do what we called a “Tour de Welcome House.” Our teams got to hear from local Raleigh churches about what goes into creating a ‘Welcome House’ and the process that refugee families go through while adjusting to life in the States.

GLOBAL
Guatemala &
South Africa
We partner with GRACE Ministries in Chimaltenango, Guatemala to support their work through monetary donations and mission work. We typically travel to Guatemala twice per year to help build housing and other important infrastructure.
FBC is a part of the South Africa Network. We have made a commitment to several ministry partners in South Africa – to support the work they are doing, to provide resources as we can, and to go to South Africa and encourage them with whatever labor and words of affirmation are needed.
