Missionary Acres would be nothing without its residents. We currently have two homes ready for residency: Lot 15 and 65. Lot 15 is featured at https://missionaryacres.com/available-homes/
Who Can Live at Missionary Acres?
The following guidelines for residency have been set and approved by the General Council of Baptist Mid-Missions, and final approval for residency comes from the Administrative Committee of Baptist Mid-Missions after all conditions have been met.
- Members of the Baptist Mid-Missions family term of service required: 15 years for all missionaries, home office personnel and staff, and General Council members
- Members of Baptist mission boards of like faith and practice term of service required: 15 years subject to an application process and approval
- Pastors who have served in Baptist churches of like faith and practice term of service required: 20 years in an independent Baptist church subject to an application process and approval
- Professors and staff of Baptist colleges and universities of like faith and practice term of service required: 20 years subject to an application process and approval.
All applicants and residents of Missionary Acres must be in agreement with the doctrinal statement of faith of Baptist Mid-Missions and will be asked to do so in writing as a condition of residency. They also are required to agree not only with the doctrinal statement of Baptist Mid-Missions, but also are required to be of like practice. What this means is that a potential resident must demonstrate that they have had some kind of relationship partnering with Baptist Mid-Missions and its ministries. For example, a pastor may have pastored churches that have supported Baptist Mid-Missions missionaries or had BMM speakers in to hold meetings. People who are interested in residency at Missionary Acres and have had no relationship with BMM would not be considered.
