Missions & Outreach
Missions & Outreach
At Broadmoor Community Church, UCC, we believe in effecting change through hands-on community involvement. We seek opportunities to make the world a better place by reaching out.
As a progressive Christian community, we are called to love our neighbors in ways that demonstrate the good news of the gospel. Our Board of Missions has entered into a number of relationships with our neighboring ministry communities. These relations are twofold:
• To support those agencies providing emergency food and other resources.
• To assist our partner communities in identifying specific needs and creating sustainable solutions to what have been long-term problems.
Working in partnership with those we serve, we enter into a sacred relationship of compassion, justice, peace, learning and Divine humility. Read below about our partners.
Our Local Community Partners:
Westside CARES

As a member church of the United Church of Christ, BCC knows that it can and does change lives through our contributions to Our Church’s Wider Mission.

• Each UCC congregation is urged to be a part of God’s mission beyond the local community by contributing to OCWM.
