Illinois Baptist
Missions. In our own neighborhoods.
From food banks, to literacy programs, addiction recovery, and more, Compassion Ministry consists of meeting the real, day-to-day needs of underserved people in our communities. But beyond providing surface-level solutions, it’s about answering the question of what it means to be a neighbor.
As the church shows compassion, we cultivate trust, build deeper relationships, and encounter opportunities to change lives with the Gospel. It’s about demonstrating the love of Christ to our real-life neighbors.
“Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?”
He said, “The one who showed him mercy.”
And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
