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.

FWB Hurricane Relief Efforts

Free Will Baptists from across the nation have stepped up to answer the call in response to the devastation left by Hurricane Helene. Churches and families have provided supplies and necessities, sent money for relief aid, and volunteered in the cleanup efforts. You can continue to find ways to help listed on the Google Document. We are Better Together!

Please pray for those in the path of Hurricane Milton. We will release updates on further relief needs as we are made aware of them.

Fraudulent Mailing

We are aware of a mailing that has been sent to many of our churches from a source purporting to be NAFWB. (See picture).

The USPS is investigating the matter as a case of mail fraud since the sender has mischaracterized themselves as being the NAFWB. This statement is on our website.

Give Your Pastor a Raise

During Pastor Appreciation Month, we thought it would be a good time to remind you that there are ways your church can give your pastor a raise, which you may not have considered yet. We encourage you to read "Give Your Pastor A Raise (Without Increasing The Budget)" by Chris Compton, and consider new ways YOUR church might bless your pastor financially!
