Get Involved

  • Share the Warmth

    As the colder weather arrives, BPC is sponsoring a two-week coat drive to help keep homeless and at-risk youth a bit warmer.

    We're collecting COATS ONLY.  They will be distributed by Safe Place for Youth (SPY), a local nonprofit and one of our mission partners.

    Collection bins will be placed in the Narthex and outside the Church Office for the next two Sundays, November 8 & 15.

    Please bring a coat and help us make a difference, one young person at a time.

  • Thanksgiving Basket Assembly

    On Saturday, November 21, please join us in the Fellowship Hall from 9-12 for a true BPC tradition that is sure to connect you with new friends, gratitude, and the Holy Spirit at work as we put together 500 baskets for our neighbors on the Westside! We'll need everybody's help to make this happen, even our toddlers and their parents will get in on the fun!! Let us know you will be there by emailing Ellie.

  • A Sense of Home

    Join us in supporting A Sense of Home in their mission to create first-ever homes and community for youth aging out of the foster care system. BPC will be assisting by assembling furniture at their Hawthorne warehouse. December 12th, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM, please email Zayna to sign up. This event is hosted by the Young Adults and sponsored by Mission.

    Online Tool to Help LA's Homeless

    LA-HOP is a tool that anybody with a cell phone or computer can use it. Here’s how it works: If you see someone on the street who needs help, go to LA-HOP.com. type in the location and describe the situation. An outreach team will then look into getting them the services they need. LA-HOP is not for medical or mental emergencies nor for reporting crime, but it does allow you to help someone in need. Learn more, go to https://www.lahsa.org/portal/apps/la-hop/.
