Around the FFBC
The Work Of The FFBC
The FFBC is a fellowship of churches that stand together for the Truth and serve together in the spread of the Gospel. The local church is the “pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:15) and the place from which God’s people carry out the Great Commission.
The FFBC is investing in churches through church planting (Victory Baptist Church, Carroll, NH) and church development (Fellowship Baptist Church, Salisbury, MD). We also own and operate the Tri-State Bible Conference which provides a place where the churches of the FFBC and other Fundamental churches can come and practice evangelism and discipleship. This requires significant investments from time to time.
The FFBC also invests in Missions. Today, fruit is continually produced from the labors of the Oxley family. While Dale and Betty are retired, they continue to receive some needed support from the FFBC. In June, we are sponsoring a Short Term Missionary Apprentice Program (STAMP) trip to Liberia under the leadership of Pastor and Mrs. Gary Myers.
The FFBC also incurs expenses from the ministry related travel needs of our National Representative, Dr. Terry Smith, and our Executive Officers. For several years, the FFBC has also made an effort to help Pastors and their families get to the Annual Session if they can’t afford to come.
All of these investments in Gospel work are made possible because of the generous giving of God’s people. It would be a blessing if every member church in the FFBC could give at least one gift a year to the FFBC and TSBC. It would also be a blessing if churches could actually support the FFBC and TSBC through regular giving.

From God’s Word
In 1 Tim. 4:7 Paul testified that he “fought a good fight. We need to see ourselves as soldiers of Jesus Christ. We need to seek God’s grace, as His soldiers, to rise to remarkable levels of commitment and sacrifice in the service of our King. We need more soldiers and less ship wrecks (1 Tim. 1:18-20). Fight to the good fight of faith while there is time (1 Tim 6:12).
