Serve the Community

READ GEORGIA

Read Georgia is a program designed for churches to partner with local schools to work one-on-one with third-grade children to develop their literacy skills. Georgia regularly sits in the middle of the 50 States in childhood literacy statistics. Churches all over Georgia are addressing one of our most desperate needs and greatest opportunities. Connect with us to learn more about how you can serve in your local Jonesboro Elementary Schools with FBCJ.

MISSIONARY CAR SERVICE

The Macedonia Call and The Righteous Rides seeks to support the mission of the gospel by supplying missionaries with vehicles while they return to the US and their home churches during their respites. Offering free vehicle usage of fully serviced vehicles during their extended stays, this ministry allows for missionaries to easily travel around to sister churches and share what God has been doing on the mission field. This ministry needs help with driving the vehicles to and from locations and assisting with pickup and drop offs.

ONEWAY

Oneway is a ministry where many individuals encounter Jesus and experience freedom from strongholds in their lives. Held weekly on Friday nights at FBC Jonesboro, Oneway is open to all members of the community seeking freedom from any form of stronghold or bondage in their lives. Through Oneway at FBCJ, we have been able to help establish more Oneway programs at other churches across the country, seeking to further glorify God by pointing those in need to Him. We need volunteers who have a heart for those struggling with strongholds in the areas of child care, worship, soundboard and encouragement. Come and be a part of what God is doing!

IMPACT MENTORING

Impact Mentoring is designed to give you a simple way to serve some of the younger members of our community. Studies have shown that mentoring a student can potentially increase that student’s grade by one letter over the course of a year. Our expectation for our mentors is that they will participate the entire school year, being a constant figure in the child’s routine during the school year.

  • Builds self-esteem
  • Improves academic performance and attitudes
  • Models’ positive citizenship
  • Increased high school graduation rates
  • Improved interpersonal skills
  • Stronger relationships with parents, teachers, and peers
  • Decreased likelihood of initiating drug & alcohol use.

Mentoring isn’t being a parent to the child. You’re an additional adult in their life – someone to sit down with them to show the child you care about them. Someone to ask how they’re doing in school, with friends and in life.

TIME COMMITMENT
30 min, 2x a month, September – April
