Food Outreach
The BCFCC Outreach Drive–Thru Food Ministry was born out of inspiration from a message preached by our pastor and presiding Bishop James McKnight, Jr. in 2019. The message reminded all that “We are the Church” and not the building. The essence of the message moved the Outreach Coordinator and other members to start planning how they might reach out to the community in a unique way, by providing “Hot Meals and a Prayer.” A team started in the planning phase in late 2019, with the intention of bringing the ministry into full implementation in the year of 2020.
A hot meal of shepherd’s pie was served with words of prayer and encouragement were offered to Bradford County residents who drove by. Approximately 80 people participated. Since that first event, we have offered other drive by events such as the BFCC Fish Fry, with participation of approximately 250 people.
We provide a hot meal, smiles, encouragement and a prayer to all who attend. We are “Reaching People and Developing lives,” one plate at a time.
