Ministries: Opportunities to GROW & GO

"Church isn't where you meet. Church isn't a building. Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let's not [just] go to Church, let's be the Church." -Bridget Willard

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
-Matthew 25:35-36

Food Pantry
Food will be distributed monthly on the
FOURTH Saturday at 10:00AM- March 27 2021
​
See key information below regarding changes to the program due to COVID-19

We will not be having it in the fellowship hall. Instead, we will be handing out pre-made bags of food from the BGCC parking lot, limiting physical contact as people are just passing through.
We will be assembling these pre-made bags the Thursday prior to distribution at 5 PM. We will need approximately 5 volunteers for this. If you are interested, please let Nick know of your interest.
We anticipate each bag costing $10. There will be “BGCC shoppers” who will purchase the food to be placed in the bags. 
To get involved, or volunteer, please contact Nick at 1-855-818-3810 x707 or by email - nick@bethanyinbridgeton.com​

Volunteer with BGCC
Using our time, talents, and spiritual gifts to make a difference. Imagine what our families, church, and community would be like if we all took the time to do what God uniquely designed each of us to do in serving others. The ripple effect of each person making their unique contribution would result in a revolution of Christ's love being felt in tangible, life-changing ways. Whether you have lots of time to volunteer each week or only a few hours every once in a while, consider making the kind of impact that only you can make. Your life will never be the same!
