Missions: Global
Missions has been a big part of Providence Church since its beginning. We are known as the little church with
the big heart. Each Sunday we feature a section of our worship service called the Missionary Moment which focuses on
the missions efforts of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and we pray for the missionaries each week.
We are a part of the CBF Adopt-a-people program. We support the mission
efforts of Rick and Ellen Burnette who work in Thailand with the Palaung people. We have hosted the Burnettes at our
church 4 times over the past 12 years. We have helped build a well in Thailand for the Palaung people and have supported
Upland Holistic Development Project which helps the hill tribe people of Northern Thailand.
Tennessee Partners in Missions
Providence
has a special collection each year in addition to a regular budget item to support Tennessee Partner in Missions, the Tennessee
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship's mission outreach in the state.
Missions: Local
Our local mission efforts include
regular donations to Helping Hands of Putnam County, the Cancer Care Fund of Cookeville Regional Hospital, Neverfail Community
Church in White/Cumberland Counties, Tennessee CBF Partners in Missions. Partnering with First Methodist Church in Cookeville,
we built a house for Habitat for Humanity. Most recently we have partnered with Rebuild Haiti, a community organization
made up of area churches and organizations. Providence Baptist Church has a heart for missions.
