First
Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens has long
been a church that is active in the community and
continues to serve the neighborhood in areas of
housing, employment, health care, youth development
and economic development. The church is one of the
leaders in New Jersey in the faith based community
development movement just as the church was a leader
in the 1960's in the civil rights movement. Worship,
Discipleship, Stewardship, Fellowship and Caring
Nurture are the cornerstones for conducting ministry
at First Baptist Church. |

One Economy is a national
non-profit organization created to be a catalyst for
innovation and change. They help bring
access to technology into the homes of low-income
people around the country, and use that technology
to connect low-income people to information and tools
they can use to build assets and improve their lives.
Through The Beehive, they have created an opportunity
for non-profit organizations to more efficiently deliver
information
and services;
governments to communicate with constituents; businesses
to reach new markets; and low-income people to move
beyond being passive recipients of services to better-informed
consumers and producers.
