AO Mission Center

What is the A.O. Mission Center?

The Alpha Omega Mission Center is a facility located behind First Baptist Church, Newnan, Georgia.  The A.O. Mission Center is a ministry of First Baptist Church, Newnan and the Western Baptist Association.

What is the A.O. Mission Center's purpose?

The Center's purpose is to show God's love to those in our community who are in need. The goal is to help them through difficult times by providing food, clothing, and assistance. Lastly, they are told of God's everlasting gift - Jesus Christ.

How does the Mission Center operate?

The center is currently open Tuesday thru Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.  Visitors requesting assistance arrive between 9:15 and 9:45 a.m. The visitor must provide some background information for the center's records. Then the visitor speaks one-on-one with a worker to determine needs and how the center might assist them. Then, as a group, all the visitors for that day are spoken to about both physical and spiritual needs. Following this, food and/or clothing is gathered. Visitors are usually gone by 11:00 a.m. The time remaining is used for sorting and hanging clothes, stocking food, or general clean-up.

How has the center been doing?

Since the A. O. Mission Center opened, thousands of persons have been served. Tons of food and thousands of articles of clothing have been distributed. All who visited also discussed spiritual needs and heard about Jesus Christ. Many people have accepted Jesus as Savior! We praise the Lord for this ministry!
