Missions

Over a hundred and sixty-five years ago, First Protestant Church began as a mission outpost for early German immigrants in what was then the barren wilderness of South Central Texas. Today – in the 21st Century, as we carry out the Great Commission of our Lord - to go into all the world and make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20), we also live out the challenge of 1 Peter 4:10 that each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others. At First Protestant Church, we empower our people to serve others in various local, national and international mission venues. We believe that we were created by God for this purpose in Jesus Christ and that God prepared in advance for us to do his work (Ephesians 2:10).  Rev. Daryl Higgins, Senior Minister
