| Missions
We consider our missionaries an extension of the staff and body of Bible Fellowship, and as such, desire to play a large, active, and significant role in their support. We therefore support a few missionaries WELL.
WorldReach -- Missions at BFC...
- We provide partial support for 12 missionary families serving in the US and around the world.
- We support two local outreach organizations: ChoiceOne Pregnancy/Resource Centers, and Camp Orchard Hill.
- We contribute to The Evangelical Free denominational mission programs for evangelism and church planting both here and abroad.
- We encourage and support short term missions. Our own summer trips for teens have allowed a large number of our youth to experience missions firsthand while learning to pray, prepare, and serve in Christ's name.
- We are a regional collection center for "Operation Christmas Child" whereby we process thousands of shoeboxes from area churches and organizations to be distributed worldwide to those in need.
- We provide occasional highlights of a missionary family that we help to sponsor so that the congregation gets to know them and their ministry better and is encouraged to support them in prayer.
WorldReach Team
The WorldReach Team is a volunteer group open to anyone with a heart or concern for missions and new members are always welcome! It is a great ministry for both husband and wife -- we have found a very good balance occurs when couples join together. Of course, this does not limit individuals from participating as well.
The WorldReach Team screens missionary candidates for support and recommends new missionaries to support as we are able. They also oversee disbursement of the yearly Missions budget.
Short Term Mission Trips
Trips planned for 2010 include traveling to Hong Kong in February and Peru in March. If you are intersted in partipating please click here to download an application.
