our mission

Thanks so much for visiting the online home of Free Will Baptist Family Ministries. For over 80 years, Family Ministries has been ministering to the broken and vulnerable among us. Many things have changed over the years as our ministry has expanded, but our mission remains the same: “To serve and share Christ in order to strengthen and preserve families and provide a loving, caring and secure environment in which to live, work, and grow in the Lord.” There are a number of reasons that might have drawn you to our website: To learn more about the many facets of our ministry, to explore the possibility of a career opportunity with FWBFM, or perhaps just simple curiosity.

Whatever the reason, we hope you come away with a greater knowledge and appreciation for the wonderful work that is done at Family Ministries. I have often called Family Ministries “the best kept secret in the denomination”. It’s our goal with the information provided here and your help in sharing the good news, we’ll be able to “spread the word” to as many as possible. May God richly bless you is my prayer.

80th Homecoming celebration

On Saturday, October 26, 2019, Free Will Baptist Family Ministries celebrated their 80th Anniversary in style as hundreds of folks from 8 states (Arkansas, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Missouri, and from all across Tennessee) gathered in Greeneville for homecoming ceremonies.
Mike Blanton and Evidence, Jacob and Emily Frady, and Tammy Jones Robinette delivered the music program, followed by a stirring sermon from Evangelist Mike Blanton. Everyone then moved to the Lodge for a delicious Amish cooked meal, followed by an afternoon of fun filled activities for the whole family.
Truly, “a great time was had by all”. Thanks to all who came and made this a homecoming to remember!
