"Serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received."
1 Peter 4:10

Who We Are The Missions Team at Bakerstown United Methodist Church is an active group, involved in all areas of the community, the country, and the world. Global efforts include China Outreach Ministries, Campus Coalition, Hipwell's Missionary, Christian Sports International, and the Heifer Foundation. By supporting the Bethlehem Haven, located in downtown Pittsburgh, we are aiding their efforts of helping homeless women by providing shelter and supporting services and by collaborating with the community to end homelessness. We continually support UMCOR (United Methodist Committee On Relief) a global humanitarian aid organization, in providing relief to in more than 80 countries. Locally, we support Hosanna Industries and "The Lighthouse," a faith-based volunteer-driven foundation, including a Food Bank, serving over 6,000, children, adults, seniors, and families in Western PA. We assist the North Hills Community Outreach (NHCO), a nonprofit organization that addresses the spiritual, emotional, physical, and material needs of people in crisis, hardship and poverty in Allegheny County. Mission dollars also go towards sustaining three Christian-based camps: Wesley Woods, Jumonville, and Camp Allegheny. The Mission Team has sent groups to Alajuela, Coata Rica, and the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, to aid ministry efforts, home renovation, community giving, and sharing the Gospel.	Events that matter Throughout the year, the Missions Team hosts different fun-filled events that support their efforts: Junque Sale - A spring tradition, come to the church and hunt for treasures! Get rid of yours and take some home. Chile Cookoff & Talent Show - Enjoy dinner and entertainment, get your fill of chili and support a good cause! Cafe Bakerstown - stop down to the Fellowship Hall following the 11:00AM worship service on special dates, and enjoy a bite to eat with friends! Donations are accepted. how you can help Recycle - Small steps matter. Something as simple as recycling old cell phones and inkjet cartridges. Recycling helps God's world, and a small percentage is reimbursed to the church. Drop off your donations, we'll do the rest! Support - A variety of fundraisers occur throughout the year, and offer the opportunity for fun, involvement, oftentimes food, and doing for others. Give - The cost...1 penny...On the second Sunday of each month a special "Pennies For Heaven" collection is designated to the Mission Team. A few pennies may seem like small change in your pocket, but the Missions Team makes every penny count - for someone in need. Pack - UMCOR is in constant need of health kits to use in disaster relief. Bakerstown was able to send over 200 health kits to Gulf Coast victims as an immediate response. Find specific content lists online: www.umcor.com, and for the cost of about $5, you can make a difference.
