OUTREACH

Our Outreach Ministry is taking the Word of God to our local community through evangelistic efforts and hands on mission work. As we grow in faith, we become more intentional about sharing the love of Jesus Christ with others.

SHEPHERD'S FOOD PANTRY

The mission of The Shepherd’s Food Pantry is to provide the love and compassion of Jesus Christ by providing food to the hungry and needy. This is accomplished by identifying needs. The services are provided without discrimination. It is our hope that those who receive food will be strengthened in body and soul.

ANNUAL CAR SHOW

Each year BVLC hosts a car show in our South parking lot. It's a pretty casual event. There is no judging or awards. Anyone from the community is invited to bring in their classic cars to show them off and share the stories of their love for "that" car or for cars in general. The rest of the community is also invited to see the cars and enjoy a great day. Lunch is provided to exhibitors. Face painting and balloon animals seem to be a favorite for the kids.

WIM (Women in Misson)

BVLC Women in Mission is an outreach ministry open to all women and young ladies of Bella Vista Lutheran Church. As a group we will be planning 2-4 events annually. All of these events will CONNECT people to Christ, give disciples an opportunity to GROW in faith, and SERVE others in Christ’s name.

In addition to these outreach events, this team also includes ongoing projects including: Prayer Shawls, Quilting, Lutheran World Relief School kits, and collection of Mites.

Team Leader: Leanne Rawlings

If you have any questions please contact the Church Office or Leanne through the Church Directory.

SWAP (Stamped With A Prayer)

SWAP is an outreach ministry. Members gather on the third Wednesday of every month at 9am to craft beautiful cards for all occasions. Cards are then sold, and the proceeds support various mission projects.

We also make cards to be delivered to nursing homes and other residents who are not able to shop for cards themselves or cannot afford to buy them. We do other special projects including greetings and projects for mission trips, military and Meals on Wheels.

Our team leader is: Betty Deppeler

Please help support this outreach ministry.

QUILTS FOR THOSE IN NEED

The quilters regularly supply a quilt in the church lounge area to be taken by any church members who know of someone who needs one.

PROJECT CONNECT

Bring hope to your community through Project Connect — an indispensable, on-site, booklet ministry resource that uses a display (Rotating Booklet Stand) of pocket-sized, topical booklets to promote outreach. There are also some booklets for equipping your congregation's members to share their faith. Each of the more than 50 booklets available is written from a Christian perspective and addresses a variety of topics, from forgiveness and the after-life to depression and anger management.
