Mission Connection Center

WHAT IS MISSION CONNECTION CENTER?

Saying we are Christian is not enough. Being Christian, if we are to take it seriously, means doing. When Christ extends His invitation to come and follow, the journey does not lead to a sanctuary. It leads to places where there is poverty, hunger, sickness, violence and injustice. We go to these place to feed the poor, heal the sick, comfort the lonely or the maligned and right wrongs committed on the vulnerable by the powerful.

Blue Valley Christian Church claims its identity as a Mission Connection Center. We do so to remind us that the work of continuing the ministry established by Jesus Christ is out in the neighborhood, out in the world. The values of Mission Connection Center are: hospitality, justice, peacemaking, grace, mercy, compassion, diversity and inclusivity.

Mission Project

INVITATION

We welcome all who seek to do good for their fellow human, regardless of faith tradition or history, to join in the work of Mission Connection Center. Our invitation comes not as a means to attract members or to convert, but to create opportunities for as many as who wish to aid their fellow humans. If your desire is to use your gifts or experience to serve others, please contact us.
Check out the Mission Connection Center group on Facebook!   
The purpose of this group is to help us spread the word about our Mission Connection Center volunteer activities as well as provide a place where our volunteers can share their experiences with others. Please join us in spreading the word and living out Christ in the real world.

July & August Collection Mission

During the months of July and August, you are encouraged to participate in the "Give Lunch" Challenge. Volunteers are encouraged to collect single- serving, shelf stable foods. Upon completion of the "Give Lunch" food pantry challenge, we will then gather together at BVCC (date/time TBA) and assemble individual lunches which will then be donated to the Harvesters Community Food Network for use in their youth programs, and their homeless teen mobile food pantry. A grocery list of items that will be included in each lunch can be found here. All donations may be placed in the food pantry wagon found in the BVCC gathering area hallway.
