Local Outreach
Community Outreach: Building Bridges of Hope
We want BACBC to be a blessing to our local community.
Good works build good relationships, which result in good conversations, which lead to opportunities and the right to share the good news. Serving in our local communities are great opportunities for teachers and students, parents and children, couples, families, small groups, fellowships, Sunday school classes, and friends to make an impact together. Students who volunteer may submit hours served for their school's community service requirement. If you’re interested in finding a volunteer opportunity, please see below for our partners, or contact info@bacbc.org.
