We offer support to students of area public schools through agencies like Bright Futures as well as personal connections, and we are currently giving specific attention to Ringgold Elementary and Caldwell Elementary. PTO involvement, volunteerism for school functions, and assistance with facility and faculty needs are all encouraged. 

As Arkansas Baptists, First Benton has been involved with ABC & F since the organization first emerged in the early 1900s. From the first Arkansas Baptist Children Home for orphans to its current ministry model that includes Living Well Professional Counseling, Connected Foster and Adoption Care, Desired Haven Family Care, and the Children's Home, ABC & F seeks to accept, believe, and care for children and families in crisis.

The CALL in Arkansas educates, equips, and encourages the Christian community to provide a future and a hope for children in foster care, and we are fortunate to have a local affiliate (and Resource Center) that serves Saline/Perry Counties. We have partnered with The CALL since 2017 through raising awareness and prayer, general support of those who are involved with the child welfare system, and direct support to some families.

Some First Benton members were involved in the group that founded the Christian Community Care Clinic over 25 years ago, and the clinic continues to provide medical care for those in need of affordable services. 

Since 1976, the Churches Joint Council On Human Needs (CJCOHN) has provided food, clothing, and referrals for Saline County residents in need (up to twice a month per household). Volunteers are needed, particularly Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10am-2pm.

Newly emerging as an exploratory partner in 2025, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes seeks to empower athletes and coaches through faithfulness on the field and in all of life.

As part of the international organization that seeks to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable housing, the Saline County affiliate was chartered in 1998 with First Benton members being engaged since then by way of committee involvement, volunteering at the ReStore and on work crews, annually supporting the Apostles Build, and advocating for affordable housing.

Since 2003, New Beginnings Pregnancy Resource Center has served expectant parents in need of material resources, mentoring, and physical/emotional support. The Pregnancy Test Center next door also shows the value of life through ultrasounds and consultations from trained professionals. Volunteers are utilized for inventory organization, facilitating support groups, and other empowering tasks.

Since 2022, Women Equipped has prepared women for life in a Christian context through career-focused classes, Bible study, and building meaningful relationships. This twelve-week program utilizes the FBC-Benton facility space known as the Genesis Center.
