We grow in relationship and grow in Christ when we serve our siblings in our community and in the world.
Mission and Outreach is one way we bring God’s love to the world. There are different ways to be involved: plan and organize ministry; participate in ministry; provide resources for ministry.
Ecumenical Partnership for Housing (EPH): On August 11, 2014 Bethel became a partner church with Ecumenical Partnership for Housing (EPH). EPH is addressing the problem of safe and affordable housing through its “Pathway to Self-sufficiency” strategy. Bethel has been assigned to Upper Luke home. An EPH partner church is responsible to get a house ready for new tenants. The average is two move outs per year with cleaning inside after each move. The responsibility of the partner church not only includes preparing the house for the new family but providing a box of food staples, a welcome meal to the new family moving in, cutting the grass and shoveling snow.
In 2025, EPH provided housing and case management for 62 families, including 156 children. An additional 66 families, including 138 children, were
served through their prevention program. This was the first year that the number of families served through the prevention program exceeded those served in EPH homes.
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC): Bethel is one of twelve partner churches that work together to be a part of the hunger solution by hosting a Feed My Starving Children Mobile Pack each October. Approximately 6200 children die each day related to experiencing hunger. During the Mobile Pack volunteers prepare rice pack meals during two-hour shifts. From October 6th to 9th, the 2025 Feed My Starving Children Green Bay MobilePack took place at Green Bay Community Church. Thanks to the efforts of 3,307 volunteers working together in a range of roles, an incredible 676,512 meals were packed—enough to provide food for 1,853 children for an entire year. At the end of each pack, volunteers pray over the meals that were packed which are then sent throughout the world.
Resurrection Food Pantry: Bethel has started a Fill The Wagon program each month. At the start of the month we make a new shopping list with the most needed items for the food pantry and put a copy in the bulletins. This way everyone has a shopping list in hand that you can add your own items to when you go shopping. We have been delivering about 150-190 pounds of food per month with the help of the shopping list.
Special Collections: Throughout the year, we take up special collections of resources (sometimes financial, sometimes not) to support ministries locally, nationally and worldwide. These are things like Hat and Mittens, Non-perishable Food Items for Resurrection Food Pantry, NEW Shelter Meal, St. John’s Homeless Shelter, Salvation Army Senior Lunch Meal, Simple Gifts (coins) for Eye Heart World, Little Free Library, etc.
Recycling: The earth is the Lords and everything in it. Psalm 24:1
