Missions Overview
Southpoint is passionate about spreading the gospel to the "ends of the earth." We currently support over 80 missionaries and mission organizations, both globally and locally. We have four missionary families serving in foreign fields sent through our church.
The Mission Committee, composed of seven members, oversees and recommends how and to whom support is distributed. They remain in constant contact with our missionaries to help us, as a church, keep a pulse on the practical needs we can meet.
Check out our 2026 Mission Packet to find a list of missionaries visiting us for mission emphasis month, calendar, events, meet the committee, and yearly impact.
How To Get Involved
Faith Promise Giving: A systematic plan through which each church member makes a private pledge to give beyond their tithe to the cause of missions. After pledges are collected, we create a missions budget based on the total amount. In this way, we are better able to plan for and support missionaries.
Write A Missionary: Missionaries need support beyond finances. They need to know that they are not forgotten on the field. A handwritten letter, email, or FaceTime could be the very thing God uses to help them press forward on difficult days. See one of our Mission Committee members for more information on how you could help.
Join A Cause: You can help with missions by joining events right here at home. Through ministries like Operation Christmas Child, First Coast Women’s Services, Feed My Starving Children, and others, you can make an impact that reaches far.
Collins House Gift Cards: Every missionary who stays in the Collins House is given gift cards to help with food, gas, and supplies during their stay and travels. We’re only able to do this as SPBC members provide them. Gift cards could be anything nationwide, such as gas cards, grocery stores, restaurants, and fast food restaurants.
Send Someone Else: We have three young people from our church raising support for mission trips. Daniel Lovely, Rayna Walker, and Dustin Morrow will be taking individual trips this year. They will focus on medical, musical, and evangelistic endeavors to reach those without the gospel. If you would like more information about these trips or how to support them, please contact the front office.
Go to the World: Whether it's a mission trip around the world or across town, you can get involved by taking the gospel to the world. We love going to see our missionaries and support them in person, too. If you're interested in going on a mission trip like this, contact the front office to see if we have any scheduled for the coming year.
Collins House
Dr. Terry Collins pastored Southpoint Baptist Church from February 14, 2000, to August 24, 2025. He served his people with passion, love, joy, and integrity. As our pastor, his work ethic was unmatched. When he could have delegated work to others, he led by example. Without hesitation, he sacrificed his time, energy, and health to walk alongside his people through their difficulties.
A pastor is an under-shepherd, guiding the Father’s sheep in the ways of truth. There are many preachers in our world, but few pastors. We have found a pastor in Terry Collins. One of the most notable characteristics of Pastor Collins is his unwavering heart for missions.
This home was originally donated by a dear church member, Virginia Hughes, upon her passing. She wanted it to be used to further God’s Kingdom, but gave no restrictions on how that should be accomplished. Rather than selling the home or clearing the land, Pastor Collins sensed the Lord had greater plans. Under his leadership, the church would renovate and use this home to support missionaries traveling through our city. Whether on deputation, medical leave, or vacation, this place has been a source of relief for thousands.
It is from this loving pastor that this home takes its name: Collins House. It is a home that would not be if not for the pastoral heart and mission-minded focus of our beloved pastor, Terry Collins.
