Upcoming Events:
The Bag Brigade
september Item of the Month: Juice boxes
Did you know that 3 out of 4 teachers say they have children in their classrooms who regularly come to school hungry?
The Bag Brigade started with the intent of helping to end childhood hunger in our community and with a conviction that every child should have the nourishment they need to learn and grow. The mission is simple – pack bags with food so the kids in need throughout the Belle Vernon Area School District don’t go hungry on the weekends.

Local and Global Outreach
As we recognize that we cannot fulfill God's Mission all by ourselves, we partner with other ministries in order to bring Jesus to those outside our own realm.
Locally, we partner with Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO) in calling college students to serve Jesus Christ with their entire lives. Our local ministry, Students Taking A New Direction (S.T.A.N.D.), is located at California University.

Internationally, we have partnered for years with the Envision site in El Salvador doing church plants, community support, construction, and ministry for the poor. Currently, we have begun a new partnership with international workers in Kosovo, supporting the C&MA team, praying for them, and providing pastoral care.
As part of the worldwide family of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, we are invested in mission work.
