Missions, both local and global, are at the heart of Greystone’s purpose. Through our support of Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, CBF-North Carolina, Raleigh Baptist Association and various other local agencies, we are empowered to share God’s love both here at home and abroad.

Launched in 2001 by CBF Global, Together for Hope (TFH) is a long-term commitment to working with people in 20 of the nation’s poorest counties in order to affect change and break the cycle of economic disparity.

We will work with CBF field personnel, to provide a camp for children and home repairs for those in need.

Kid’s Mission Garden

In addition, we have a new bed which is in a better position to grow beautiful, luscious tomatoes!

Wyatt Ministries Welcome House
Kim and Marc Wyatt are Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Global Missions Field Personnel. In this ever changing day of global migration the new ‘foreign mission field’ really is our own home town.
