Reach your community in 2026 and more from national departments.
NAFWB News
Stay up-to-date on happenings throughout the Free Will Baptist denomination with this week's NAFWB News. Read below the exciting things going on in our national ministries.
Start 2026 by Reaching Your Community
The Know Your Community Report has proven to be a helpful, effective tool that equips a church to know and reach its community. This report offers detailed demographics and information regarding the community surrounding your church. For example, you will learn the exact population, the marital status, age profiles, ethnic groups, and economic challenges facing your area. Find out how much people in your community spend on healthcare, the hobbies they enjoy, and much more.
In a recent Better Together Podcast, Pastor Mitch Wagner described how the Know Your Community Report provided his brand new church plant vital information that helped them meet specific physical and spiritual needs of their community.

News from Departments
The FWB Endowment Benefits Everyone
Any investment advisor will direct you to invest in both short-term and long-term goals to create a balanced financial plan. Free Will Baptists have that same strategy through The Together Way and The FWB Endowment. Through The Together Way cooperative giving, you give to support all FWB departments yearly, but you can also make contributions to The FWB Endowment to sustain and strengthen the same FWB departmental ministry efforts for generations to come.
Funds in The FWB Endowment are invested and never spent while earnings are used annually to advance ministry goals like missions, education, and other denominational ministries. To give to The FWB Endowment benefiting all FWB departments, contact the FWB Foundation at (877) 336-7575 or visit fwbgifts.com.

Thank You for Giving
Thank you for giving to the Mission North America Offering!

Your faithfulness helps fuel ongoing ministry and Gospel impact across North America. We’re so grateful for every person who chose to give and stand with us in this mission.
For many, December is spent chasing doorbusters and deals. But real value comes from investing over time in what lasts.
