DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WITH A NEED?
BRBCers, click HERE to tell the team
The team members envision a church family where God is actively using us as His hands and feet to be actively involved in caring for those in our local community.
Needs will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Some examples of community needs might include: Prayer, someone to talk to or just a social visit, laundry, provide a meal, child care/babysitting, yard work, gutter cleaning, wash windows, paint a room, electrical work, plumbing work, shoveling snow, vacuuming, financial assistance, deck sealing, fence repair, need of home furnishings, need of clothing, need of food, etc.

GIVE FINANCIALLY
This impacts both those in our community and those within our church family! Specifically, your giving is making support possible for: our world missionaries and those they help, the staff who are your local missionaries, local ministries such as Tree of Life and others, and a lot more. Gifts designated “General Offerings” go toward our budget; gifts designated “Benevolence” or other designations are above and beyond the BRBC budget. Thank you for being the means through which God provides!
