Teacher/Staff Support & Appreciation Project Guidelines
A Community Awareness Ministry (CAM) Project
The purpose of a First Baptist Church Statesboro CAM Project is to invest financially and engage our congregation in sharing a witness for Christ in our community, seeking to make Bulloch County a better place as we live out the biblical command to love our neighbors as ourselves.
To mobilize FBC members to serve teachers/staff at local Bulloch County Schools as an outreach & service project. FBC members will "adopt" a school where their children attend and plan an expression of service, hospitality, or appreciation to the teachers/staff of that school. The goal is to have a FBC team adopt each school in Bulloch County, and this team (comprised of parents and others) will plan & implement the school-specific project, as well as mobilize the FBC members needed to accomplish it.
- First Baptist Church Statesboro will provide funding to each of the 15 public schools in Bulloch County to plan and implement a teacher/staff support and appreciation project in the school.
- The total funding will be prorated among the 15 schools based on pupil enrollment.
- FBC members will "adopt" a school where their children attend and plan an expression of service, hospitality, or appreciation to the teachers/staff of that school. We encourage teachers in our congregation to serve on the team in order to provide ideas and input; we also encourage church and community members to serve on the team to implement this project in the school.
- The FBC team will adopt each Bulloch County public school, and this team (comprised of parents and others) will plan & implement the school-specific project.
- Assistance can be requested from and provided by the FBC Teacher/Staff Support & Appreciation planning committee and other FBC members.
- Projects should be completed no later than November 17, 2023.
- The FBC Teacher/Staff Support and Appreciation coordinating committee includes the following members: Gail Mizell, Patsy Parker, Connie Sumner, Mary Sue Smith, Monica Lanier, and Susan Allen.
