Community Involvement
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)
We are dedicated to supporting our co-workers in the Lord who are making a difference in the community for the sake of the kingdom. See if you may want to volunteer your time and/or resources for these great causes.

Bryantsville
Hunger Relief Project
Sending high-lyscene corn to feed the poor and destitute in the name of Jesus
Find Out More
Our church family is involved with the Bryantsville Hunger Relief Project, which is based out of a barn in Bryantsville. The Bryantsville Hunger Relief Project exists to help provide food to the "poorest of the poor" people in third world or disaster-ravaged countries by supplying corn for distribution by various relief agencies.
BHRP is a non-profit Christian agency, staffed entirely by unpaid, volunteer labor. The project has been active since 1985, and has sent out more than 150,000 bags of corn to destinations all over the world, in the name of Jesus.
The corn is grown on, and purchased from, Rosehill Farm in Bryantsville, Indiana. Funds donated to BHRP are used to pay for the corn; volunteers use equipment there at the farm to clean the grain, and place it into 60-pound bags. Bags are loaded to trucks or shipping containers for shipping to the receiving relief agency.
