Bread of Life Christian Church

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.” ... often quoted as ... remain silent.

Our Mission for Bread of Life Christian Church
is to be a servant ministry with all outreach intended to further Christ’s Kingdom and to be a voice for those without a voice.

We want to be a living presence,
We try to find ways to make sure that the poor are fed, and
We strive to change systems through social action.

Habitat for Humanity

We do our utmost to live out the Gospel with the scriptures of Micah 6.8 resounding in our ears:

“He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
