Our Jerusalem Partners

You will find descriptions below of each of the local ministries that are partners with Front Street.  Throughout the year, there will be many opportunities to get on mission with these  organizations.

The South Yadkin Baptist Association
 

The South Yadkin Baptist Association is a fellowship of 72 area churches in Iredell, Davie, Rowan, Forsyth, and Lincoln Counties, working together to take the gospel to the lost, strengthen churches, disciple believers, and minister to others in the name of Christ. We work together as a team of churches because we accomplish much more collectively than we could as individual congregations. Our goal is to take our eyes off of ourselves and focus our efforts and attention on those around us. In other words, we replace our mirrors that focus on self with windows that allow us to focus on the world around us. We do this through a variety of ministries. The Association also serves as a resource for the churches to receive the training and the encouragement needed to become healthy, growing churches that transform lives with God’s love.

Iredell County Prison Ministry
 

Several of our men share Christ with the prisoners at the Iredell County Jail facilities each week.  Front Street provides Bible study materials and tracts for the inmates.

Pregnancy Resource Center
 

The Pregnancy Resource Center of Statesville exists to share the Gospel (Matthew 28:18-20) and show the love of Christ (Romans 2:4) to women who are in crisis pregnancies, are abortion-minded, are suffering the effects of abortion, or are in need of lifestyle counseling (James 1:27) so they can experience the new birth offered by Jesus Christ (John 3:3) and the pre-born can experience birth (Proverbs 24:11-12).

Iredell/Statesville Schools Bible Association
 

The Iredell-Statesville Schools Bible Association is a non-profit organization that dedicates itself to providing the salaries for teachers in local high schools to teach a Bible class as an elective option for the students. The organization provides a Bible for each student that attends the class that they can keep after the completion of the course as well as other supplies that may be needed throughout the year. At the end of each year the association hosts a banquet for the students to honor those that attended the class.

N.B. Mills Partnership
 

Our church has adopted NB Mills Elementary School, located in our neighborhood.  Our ministry involves prayer walks, contributions of school supplies, kleenex, and remembering the staff with special treats and lunches.  Our church also provides volunteers that provide assistance to teachers in the classroom.

The purpose of Front Street's Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives through the "Eight Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed." By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power. The Celebrate Recovery program was developed at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California.
