Back Bay Mission is a community ministry of the United Church of Christ, located in Biloxi, MS. It serves the Mississippi Gulf Coast and wider church community by faithful witness for social justice and compassionate service to the poor and marginalized. First Congregational UCC has a long history of active participation in the Mission. We began taking mission trips to Biloxi on a consistent basis in 1992, and in 2004 we were awarded the Congregational Stewardship Award from The Council for Health and Human Service Ministries for our outstanding support of the mission. We give ongoing financial support and make an annual mission trip to Biloxi to volunteer at the day shelter for those experiencing homelessness, and the food pantry for the food insecure. We restore or build homes to improve the affordable housing situation for those vulnerable to home loss. Members travel to Back Bay Mission each spring, usually in late April.
