“Pocketbooks with redefined priorities are just as important as sending a multitude of missionaries as individuals who are eager to go.”
– Lottie Moon
How far does your influence reach? No one can truly calculate the reach we have in this life, but when we carry out God’s mission on this earth, we know the impact is eternal. The family of faith at Mobberly Baptist Church is making an eternal difference across East Texas, the western United States and even around the world.
Pray. Give. Go.
“The most powerful motivation for missions is a deep appreciation of grace.”

Go Local
Local Partnerships
There are 75,000 households of all ages, races and backgrounds within driving distance of Mobberly’s campuses. All people need to experience the life- changing, ever-growing relationship that comes only through Jesus Christ. Some realize it, some live it, but many miss it. Woven throughout our faith community, we are engaging people, households and reaching into communities. We won’t stop until all of East Texas is saturated with the gospel of Jesus.
Local missions are a vital part of Mobberly’s strategy to reach East Texas for Christ. The East Texas area has many local missions that minister to men, women, and children. When you begin to reach out to these ministries, God not only blesses you, but gives you numerous opportunities to share the gospel that provides peace and joy and the hope of heaven to those who need Jesus. We are ready to connect you with a local mission allowing you to put feet to your faith by serving others in Jesus’ name. Contact [email protected]
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

Go National
National Partnerships
Church planting is a biblical precept. The book of Acts is clear; Paul and his missionary partners traveled from city to city, region to region, preaching the gospel, establishing elders and planting churches wherever they went. The supernatural growth of the first-century church came through strategic church planting.
In the United States, over 40% of the West is unchurched.Because God Commissioned the local church to carry His life-saving message, Mobberly strives to plant churches that will plant other churches.
Our Mobberly Church Planting Network will continue in its effort to plant churches, establishing a gospel footprint to rattle the gates of hell!
“You can reach the nations by starting right here in North America – one person, one neighborhood, one community at a time.” -NAMB

Go Global
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Matthew 28:19-20 (CSB)
“More than three billion people do not have clear access to the gospel and, therefore, will likely live without ever hearing that Jesus loves them and has provided a way for them to be forgiven. Jesus tasked His followers to go and make disciples, to proclaim the gospel and call people to repent and believe. Every church, regardless of size or resources, has a role to play in reaching every nation. And, the nations are waiting.”
Dr. Paul Chitwood, IMB President

Pastoral Training
Mobberly has committed to train 1,000 pastors in the Rift
The heart of God extends even beyond our national borders. Working with strategic partners in South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, we see God using Mobberly to impact people around the world. In Africa, we are drilling wells and planting churches in remote villages of the Rift Valley in the southeast, allowing us to meet the most desperate physical and spiritual needs of entire villages. Utilizing five pastor training centers, 200 pastors have been trained, and more than 60 churches have been planted in less than two years.
Then he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Mark 16:15 CSB
