Our Mission
The Great Commission
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Matthew 28: 18-20 NIV
In conjunction with our vision, The St James Missionary Baptist Church (StJMBC) realizing that technology used today has evolved to the point where the gathering and disseminating of information (be it audibly or visually) has become so easily accessible to the point that even children are sending and gathering information through their Cell Phones,
Computers, Tablets, Televisions, etc.
So StJMBC embraces the opportunity to take advantage of this technology to help us take on the mission of helping to fulfill the dictates of The Great Commission. Along with the methods mentioned in our vision statement, StJMBC will also be:
- Using various Social Media and Business platforms to help teach, preach, and spread the
gospel. - Using various Social Media and Business platforms to host its own Podcast.
- Using various Social and Business platforms to host its own “Forum.”
- Using various Business platforms and Social Media to stream its Bible Study.
The StJMBC believes that the applications of technology can be valuable in helping the church fulfill the dictates of the “Great Commission.”

The St James Missionary Baptist Church (StJMBC) understands that it is the duty of every believer of the Lord Jesus Christ to do their part to fulfill the dictates of The Great Commission. The vision for the StJMBC sees it taking an active role in helping fulfill these dictates by:
- Preaching the unadulterated “Word of God” (Holy Bible).
- Teaching and Instructing people how to follow what the Bible Teaches, Commands, and Promises.
- Training and Teaching Believers how to lead people to the Lord.
- Opening its doors to ALL people no matter what their Race, Culture, or station in life may be.
The StJMBC also believes that the Gospel will be spread throughout the whole world, and we will not only help spread the gospel, but we will aid (when and where we can) others in their effort to help spread the gospel.
The StJMBC knows that the world is destined to go through some terrible and trying time; StJMBC is committed to standing by the teachings of the "Word of God," because even though the world is suffering through many destructive and devastating things; physically as well as morally:
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."
Matthew 24:35 (NIV)
