The purpose is to raise funds for mission ventures at home and abroad by being obedient to Jesus’ command to spread the gospel to all nations. Polkville Baptist makes it their goal for everything they do to be about JESUS. They offer a wholesome, family rodeo; moreover, the earnings support mission projects in Polkville, NC, in addition to other parts of the world. Their efforts also support local mission’s organizations, missionaries, and sends church members on evangelism and disaster relief projects.
