In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells His disciples that when the Holy Spirit comes upon them, they are to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Today, as we follow Christ, we are to be His witnesses in our neighborhoods, our city, our state, our country and to the world. As we go, we are to be faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ!
At Whitesburg, we call this As I Go - church members engaging with those they encounter in their daily lives. Today, the gospel still spreads through relationships. We want each member of our church to be able to confidently talk about their faith and be able to invite others to know Christ at their schools, workplaces, and everywhere they go. It is yet to be seen what God can do through a people serious about reaching their world. Remember, Elijah built the altar, but God sent the fire. We are praying for more altars and for God to move in power!
One of the ways we engage with people is to partner with local organizations to serve our community and broaden our gospel witness. If you would like to learn more about our local partners, click the link below to complete an interest form, or contact the Missions Office at 256-704-5678, ext. 279.
Whitesburg can make an eternal impact in the lives of children at the Boys and Girls Club of North Alabama. Whether it is through tutoring a child in a challenging school subject, helping them level up their reading skills, leading them through their STEM program, or coaching a sports team, the opportunities for community investment and gospel sharing are aplenty. We need Christlike men and women that are willing to serve so that more people may have the hope of Christ and for these kids to become better equipped for success.

God is writing an epic story and our stories have been consumed by His. My Story really only has 3 parts that all point to Jesus, not us. Our stories all center on who we were before we met Jesus, why we need Jesus, and what has changed since we’ve decided to follow Jesus. This exercise helps us prepare, practice, and be able to share the Gospel with others by using our story. Use the links below to write out your story.
