AFFILIATIONS
FBC Dawson is an independent, autonomous church that is governed by the elders and the members, but we highly value partnerships and participation with like-minded churches. We align ourselves with a few organizations for the sake of church planting, networking, and support. Our missionary partnerships play an invaluable role in our goal of making Jesus known in Dawson and beyond.
