Mission: Serving Others
Members of our congregation provide regular hands-on service and financial support in many areas. Locally, we support programs such as New Horizons, Caregivers, and Child Health Services. Each year we deliver Thanksgiving baskets and Christmas gifts to needy families. Regionally, we support Camp Wilmot and a number of service groups throughout New England. Globally, we maintain a partnership with a church in South Africa, support a family of missionaries in Afghanistan, participate in Gulf Coast rebuilding in Louisiana, and contribute toward many other ministries. Increased mission generosity is an ongoing goal.

• Our financial support for mission work continues to be a focus for our church, as we work toward a goal of giving away one dollar for every dollar used for our own programs and congregational ministry.
• We delivered 125 Thanksgiving baskets to needy families in the Manchester area.
• We provided Christmas gifts for hundreds of children and adults through our Adopt-A-Family program.
• We established an Emergency Utility Relief Fund to help individuals struggling to make payments for fuel and electricity.
• BPC hosted a community concert to raise funds for Katrina relief, and we have sent three rebuilding teams to Louisiana for mission trips.
