Bahamas Mission Trips

Central Conference Pension Initiative (CCPI)
The Central Conference Pension Initiative (CCPI) is a long-term solution that provides retirement financial security for dedicated church leaders and surviving spouses who would otherwise have little or nothing. Our church pledged and was able to raise $10,000 for CCPI.
Compassion International
The Student Ministries of Buford First support a young girl in Africa through Compassion International. Each month, we collect donations from middle or high schools students in our church youth program and send these donations to the young girl through Compassion International.
The Herrins
Buford First helps to support a missionary family, the Herrins, who serve in Monterrey, Mexico. Jon Herrin teaches at the seminary there and encourages pastors and leaders of the church. His wife teaches in a private school and all three of their children are involved in ministry with their peers.
UMCOR
Whenever there is a natural disaster, we give through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). We also give to UMCOR every year through our Alternative Christmas Project.
