Laundry of Love
Years ago, Bob Miller had a vision of serving others and sharing the gospel. Today, this vision has become a reality through laundry of love. On the first Tuesday of every month beginning at 4pm, we meet at the Handy Mart Laundromat and serve the Cookeville residents by washing and drying their clothes for free, providing a meal, and talking to them about the Lord. Many people have come to know Christ as a result of this amazing ministry. Will you volunteer?
Serve the World
Cookeville First Baptist has had mission partners all around the world. We have had the privilege of helping to establish orphanages, train pastors, plant churches, and tell others about Jesus all around the world.
Currently, we have no ongoing partnerships, but we are seeking out opportunities even now! Please pray as God leads us to our next partnership.

Operation Christmas Child
Cookeville First Baptist has always had a heart for children and missions. These two things come together with Operation Christmas Child. Led by Brenda Spain, teams meet throughout the year to plan, prepare, and pack boxes. Cookeville First Baptist sends more than a thousand boxes yearly! That's over a thousand children that hear the gospel as a result of work being done in Cookeville, Tennessee. Don't miss an opportunity to be involved in this.
