Mission Opportunities at First Christian
FCC dba BEAR CREEK CHRISTIAN CHURCH has many opportunities for giving towards mission - some are ongoing and others are special events.
|
Family Promise/IHN Week
|
Several times a year, FCC works in conjunction with Family Promise/IHN to provide housing for homeless families at the church. FCC volunteers fill a variety of roles: hosting, cooking, cleaning, and visiting with families working towards independence. Financial contributions are always welcome.

Midland Elementary School
|
Midland Elementary School which is very near, geographically, to us. They welcome our participation with them in helping educate kids and care for families. Our first project with them is the purchase of 100 headphones for the children to use with their adaptive devices. These were not provided, and many families could not purchase them.
We will also continue our Hat and Mitten tree at Advent time with these items going to the school. The school has told us they would welcome volunteers to come and read with children on a regular basis, and we will be advocating for that. |
|
Second Sunday Noisy Offering
|
On the second Sunday of every month, FCC receives a "Noisy Offering" for mission. Each month we choose one of our mission partners to feature, and our children collect change (and bills!) from the congregation during worship.

Church Volunteers
|
We are looking for people to assist in the office and/or in the church with light custodial work. If you have questions or interest in helping out, please contact Ministry Assistant.
