Missions Ministry

The Missions Ministry of Alfred Street Baptist Church (ASBC) strives to fulfill and perform the duties of Matthew 25:35-36 with commitment, prayer, service, and dedication through community outreach within the church, local community and state; while developing national and international partnerships. God opens the door for evangelism and the witnessing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for we are sent to serve God and the people of God.
Missions is committed to Building Disciples to Win the World through the four core values of Alfred Street Baptist Church: Evangelism, Excellence, Relationships, and Stewardship.
We provide resources for in-depth mission and evangelism education; promote a holistic method to missions augmented by a hands-on approach. We convene with and support the mission and ministry objectives of the Baptist General Convention of Virginia, Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, the Progressive National Baptist Convention, and the National Baptist Convention, USA.
All ASBC Missions events involve the community and a cause, as we invite and unite communities in and outside of our doors. The Missions Ministry is the legs of social justice. Domestic violence, human trafficking, and elder care are just some of the issues that affect us all in some way, shape and/or form; therefore, we urge you to come together to work for the common good-locally, nationally, and internationally.

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
We collaborate with Alfred Street ministries, neighboring churches, and legal organizations. Throughout the year we host events that include: legal clinics and Bible study series.
Social Justice Ministry

Social justice is at the very heart of Christian discipleship and faith. The Social Justice Ministry will work to equip, educate and mobilize the members of Alfred Street Baptist Church to further advance social justice causes in Alexandria, our nation and even our world. The ministry will seek to serve three primary roles as a: clearinghouse of information and opportunities to engage in social justice action and witness; a catalyst for incorporating a greater commitment to justice into existing church ministries and worship; and a convener of social justice events and campaigns. The ministry will build upon the great social justice work that is already taking place across the church and will seek to make Alfred Street Baptist Church a leading vehicle and voice for justice.

Meetings usually take place at the church although there are times when special events or activities take place away from the church or on other days/times of the month.
