PO Box 514, Coquille, OR 97423 U (541) 396-2296
We, at the First Missionary Baptist Church of Coquille are truly blessed to be a part of the Northwest Mission & Church Development Fund; and count it a privilege to be the custodian of these funds. As fellow brethren, with a common goal of furthering the gospel of Christ, we should rejoice as God’s plan continues to unfold for the missions and churches here in the great Northwest. As with the Israelites, we should heed the words of Moses from Exodus 14:13 and “...Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord...” We are thankful for the sister churches that faithfully contribute to the Northwest Mission & Church Development Fund. Your continued support helps make it possible for funds to be available when a sister church or mission is in need. God knows what our needs will be before we do, and prepares the hearts of brethren to respond accordingly.
