Mission In Society:
Faith in Action
The Mission Ministry is our Faith in Action!
BPC is well-known for its warm heart for missions.
You may find our latest Mission Calendar in our online Document Library.
We have 19 local and international partnerships we support. We believe in providing hands-on opportunities for the congregation to serve with established agencies. This allows our efforts to be maximized in reaching those who are in need.
God doesn’t ask us to change the entire world, to alleviate or eliminate all poverty, homelessness, hunger, lack of resources, disease, etc. Rather, Jesus asks of us to change just ONE person’s or community’s life: give drinking water, give medicine, give food, give shelter, give education, give hope, and give a future.
We hope that you will find opportunities to serve locally in our community and/or internationally, outside our borders. Make it your mission to serve with Mission!
