College and Military Boxes
Several times a year, Baldwin Community sends boxes of snacks to our college age students and military church members while they are away from home. This lets them know we support them, we want them to succeed and that we are thinking about them.
Support Youth Mission Trip
Supported our own Youth Group to participate in a Mission Trip to Redbird, Kentucky. These mission trips help the youth realize the needs in our country and provide a way for them to have more fellowship with our Youth Leaders.
