to help people actually follow Jesus in every area of their lives and to advance the gospel to the ends of the earth.
Everything we do flows from this purpose — and everything we invest should reflect it.
Of the $25 million RE/NEW campaign, $12 million is dedicated to renewing our mission right here, right now, for the next two years of ministry.
These aren't just words. They're the rhythm of daily life at First Baptist Rockwall.
This portion of the campaign ensures that rhythm never stops.
A two-year operating budget of $9.5 million renews our commitment to the full scope of ministry God has given us.
From the moment a child steps into our preschool wing to the moment a senior adult opens their Bible in a small group, every ministry is funded, staffed, and equipped to do what it was designed to do.
This budget also covers the faithful stewardship of our facilities — the buildings and spaces where ministry happens every single day. Maintaining and operating these spaces well isn't just a line item; it's an act of stewardship for the generations who will walk through our doors long after us.
Every Bible Study, every fellowship, and everything in between continue to be places where people are genuinely discipled — not just attending, but actually following Jesus.
That means our preschool and children's ministries continue to lay the earliest foundations of faith.
Our student and college ministries keep showing up for the next generation in the most pivotal years of their lives.
Our adult, older adult, men's, and women's ministries create space for people to grow deeper and go further.
Our music and worship ministry leads us week after week into the presence of God.
As we renew our promise to advance the gospel to the ends of the earth, $2.5 million from this campaign will go directly out the door for missions.
Through the Cooperative Program, our church links arms with thousands of Southern Baptist churches to fund missionaries, church planters, and theological education across the country and around the world.
Alongside that, we will continue investing in our local community — meeting needs, building relationships, and declaring the gospel in Rockwall and beyond. And through our regional, national, and global partners, we will deploy people and resources to places where the name of Jesus is not yet known.
