The BHPC community serves and participates in local, regional, and global ministries. Always seeking ways to encourage people to be involved both personally and communally as "World Christians," we engage in prayer, communication, and follow-up.

Union Rescue Mission — Hope Gardens

Hope Gardens Family Center is a transitional housing campus offering sanctuary to single women and children who are experiencing homelessness. Hope Gardens helps women transition from homelessness to independence within 12 to 36 months by offering long-term rehabilitation programs, services, and spiritual care. Precious women and children have a safe place to live while they receive counseling, training, encouragement, and the real help they need to escape homelessness forever.

Winter Refuge

We partner with Hollywood Presbyterian Church to serve meals to those who are staying in their temporary shelter. The shelter is only open about 10 weeks each year, and we typically serve 2-4 dinners during that season.

Bob & Kristi Rice

We support these PC(USA) mission co-workers in the city of Kanaga in the province of West Kasai, Congo. The Rice's are partnering with the Presbyterian Community of Congo to provide leadership in evangelism and outreach, as well as community development projects. There is a group from our congregation who provide specific prayer support and provide special care for the Rice's as they serve.
