The Manna Food Program distributes non-perishable food items and personal care products to community individuals and families in need.
You can use the Manna Food Program as a way to provide food and personal care products for your family without being a member of First Baptist Cleveland. This ministry, and others like it, are designed to care for and support the community in which we live as Jesus Christ would.
Getting Started
Everyone is eligible and can utilize the Manna Food Program once every 30 days per household. All that is required is a form of personal identification.
Visit the Manna Food Program at First Baptist Cleveland during available hours to get started.

Jail Ministry
jail ministry
The Jail Ministry is Mission 423’s newest project. Each week rotating teams go into the local jails and minister to the inmates. The hope is that through the relationships built within the jail, inmates will leave with a strong community that will be able to walk with them once they are released.

One of the 4 pillars of Mission 423 is our weekly outreach initiative, in which teams go out and serve within the community by building relationships as well as hosting a backyard Bible club for the children present.
