‘Day of Community Service’:
Sunday, September 28, 2025
We need 200 volunteers for indoor and outdoor projects at our partner schools and local organizations in Maryland.
Purpose and Impact.
Missions Blitz is “Service to the Community” by promoting healthy life styles. This event allows for servants of our congregation to engage in a day of community service to the residents of Anne Arundel County, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia. This has been woven into our 119th year old tapestry of traditions at the First Baptist Church, Inc., North Brentwood. Under the leadership of our Senior Pastor, Reverend Dr. Duane T. Kay, we are moving forward in faith to build upon our rich heritage.
Mission Blitz servants assist and serve multiple sites to help create a better environment for others, create healthier communities, spread love and show Christ through service. Over the past ten years of Missions Blitz we have impacted more than 10,000 lives in the Metropolitan area through food donations, providing meals, clothing donations, and beautification projects.
