Missions

Shelter: David’s Room in the Inn

We have renamed our program to honor the memory of one much loved and who also was deeply devoted to this ministry! Our church participates in a winter shelter and hospitality program for the homeless. Along with other congregations, we offer a safe place to sleep and an evening meal and light breakfast each Thursday evening, from mid-November to mid-March. The Bowling Green model for safe winter shelter is taken from The Room at the Inn Program in Nashville, TN. Five volunteer roles — dinner host, cook, innkeeper/sleeper, breakfast host, and housekeeper — are available.

Shelter: Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is building in a new subdivision at the end of East 12th Avenue. Our church participates in at least one Saturday BUILD per year. Since 2011 our church volunteers, ages 15 to 82, have helped build homes for 9 families, with hammers, paint brushes, shovels, and written prayers on unpainted walls. All funds for HFH BUILDS come from fundraisers. When considering what to do with an old sink, discarded cabinets, or an outdated sofa, think RESTORE, located on College Street downtown. Proceeds from items sold at Restore go toward material purchases for Habitat homes. Contact: Susan Thomison

Food: Church Pantry

WE ALWAYS NEED DONATIONS OF NON-PERISHABLE ITEMS – NO GLASS PLEASE! One of the only pantries that is open every weekday (M-Th 8:30-4:30; Friday 8:30-12), our church food pantry serves on average 100 families per month. December and January are often the most needful. Donated food items need to be non-perishable and easy to open. We welcome donations of peanut butter, saltines, canned tuna, white rice, dry beans, canned fruit/vegetables, snack items and more. . Also remember people must carry bags so SMALLER containers are best.

Children at Risk

Seven Counties Services (formerly Centerstone/Uspiritus/Bowling Green) and Buckhorn are agencies that advocate for children through therapeutic foster care, residential living, independent living, transitional living, and prevention services. Various mergers have occurred since Bellewood began as a Presbyterian residential care facility for children in 1849. When Bellewood united with Brooklawn, they formed the largest non-profit children and family advocacy and care facility in Kentucky. A 2018 Uspiritus/Centerstone merger added necessary psychiatric services. The Seven Counties Services Bowling Green office serves children and families in surrounding counties. Our church assists Seven Counties Bowling Green by providing meeting space and financial support. Buckhorn of Eastern Kentucky has a historical connection to our church’s mission programs.
