At Dogwood Hills, we believe that missions isn’t just something we support—it’s something we do. Our mission trips give us the chance to step out of our comfort zones and into communities that need hope, help, and the healing message of Jesus Christ. Whether we’re serving a nearby city or partnering with ministries further away, every trip is an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus. These trips grow our faith, deepen our love for others, and remind us that the gospel is good news for every place and every person.
At Dogwood Hills, we joyfully participate in the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering—two vital opportunities to support Southern Baptist missionaries as they take the gospel to the lost.
The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering supports thousands of North American missionaries through the North American Mission Board (NAMB). These church planters and ministry leaders are taking the hope of Jesus into cities, rural communities, and unreached areas across the United States and Canada.
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering funds international missions through the International Mission Board (IMB). Named after the legendary missionary to China, this offering directly supports the work of over 3,500 missionaries who are bringing the good news of Jesus to people and places that have never heard His name.
When we give to these offerings, we become part of God’s mission to reach every nation, every tribe, and every heart with the gospel. Every dollar given goes directly to the field—supporting real missionaries doing real ministry in the name of Jesus.
Pennies for Peru is a simple yet powerful way our church supports gospel-centered mission work in Peru. Through regular giving—whether spare change or generous offerings—we help provide Bibles, food, and discipleship resources for churches and families in need. Every penny collected is a seed sown into God’s work among the people of Peru.
The Backpack Ministry at Dogwood Hills Baptist Church exists to meet a very real need in our community—weekend hunger among schoolchildren. Many students in our local schools receive free or reduced lunches during the week but face food insecurity at home on the weekends. Through this ministry, we discreetly provide backpacks filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food that children can take home on Fridays.
More than just meeting physical needs, the Backpack Ministry is a tangible expression of Christ’s love. It’s one way we show families in our area that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. Every packed bag is a reminder that someone cares—and that God has not abandoned them.
Caring Is Sharing is a local food ministry dedicated to helping families in need by providing essential groceries and household items. At Dogwood Hills, we are proud to partner with this ministry through monthly donations and seasonal food drives. It’s one of the ways we live out our calling to love our neighbors and serve our community with compassion.
Every can of food, every donation, and every act of service helps bring relief to struggling families while pointing them to the hope and provision found in Jesus Christ. Caring Is Sharing reminds us that even small gifts can make a big difference when offered in love.
Every Wednesday morning at 10am, we visit Dogwood Trails Manor, located right next door to our church. Our time together includes Bible teaching, hymn singing, and personal conversation. We believe that faithful ministry means remembering those who can no longer come to us, bringing the church to them. This weekly visit is a highlight for many residents, and we'd love for you to join us in this important work of encouragement and care.
