WHO WE ARE
In 2003, the Goodman’s Motel in downtown Booneville was purchased by First Baptist Church Frankfort, to house the Emma Quire Mission Center (EQMC).
First Baptist Church named the facility after Mrs. Emma Quire of Frankfort. Mrs. Quire’s name is synonymous with Kentucky Baptist mission work. A long-time member of First Baptist Church, Mrs. Quire had a heart and passion to serve anyone in need with compassion and the love of Jesus.
The building has been completely renovated for the purpose of housing mission teams from around the country coming to Owsley County.
On August 2, 2016, the EQMC became a non-profit organization (501c3) and elected its first Board of Directors. On October 16, 2016, the EQMC celebrated its 10th year anniversary and hosted a rededication service. The prayer of the new board is to continue the great ministries to Owsley through the mission teams that come to make a difference in one of the poorest counties in the country.
