Missions

Go Beyond—Make a Difference!

Acts 1:8 says:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
For us at Bethlehem Baptist Church, our “Jerusalem” is right here in Habersham County—and that’s why we’re excited for this year’s Beyond Bethlehem!

What is Beyond Bethlehem?
It’s more than a day of service—it’s a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community! Through kindness, generosity, and shared time, we’ll make a real impact together.

For over 20 years, our church has been stepping out in faith to serve, and we need YOU to keep the mission going strong!

📅 Date: Saturday, April 12
⏰ Time: 9:00 a.m. – Noon
📍 Where: Across our community

All supplies and materials are provided—just bring your heart for serving! No matter your age or skill level, we have something for you.

Let’s serve together—see you there! 💙
Baptists on Mission is currently running six active recovery centers throughout western North Carolina to assist communities recovering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene.

At this stage, the focus is on the initial rebuilding process known as Essential Rapid Repairs (ERR). The goal is to help homeowners return to their houses by ensuring they are livable, clean, and secure—even if not fully restored—before the colder months arrive.

Bethlehem is planning to send a volunteer team June 18 (late afternoon) through June 21 (evening), led by Zach Brinkman and Keith Ivey. Our group will primarily be involved in construction work, but no prior training is required—just a willingness to serve.

We plan to carpool, and there will be no cost for lodging or meals.

To sign up or learn more, please contact Keith or Zach, or call the church office at 706-754-4870, ext. 202.

By showing up, you become a living example of Christ’s love. Don’t miss the chance to be part of someone’s story of recovery and hope.

Global Missions Fund and Local Ministries

The Global Missions Fund at BBC impacts a wide range of mission ministries. It is the main vehicle by which BBC gives to the Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong Offerings. Through it the church sends quarterly gifts to Georgia Baptist initiatives, Mission Georgia, World Hunger and the GB Children's Home, as well as BBC’s local mission partners like the Habersham Baptist Association, Grace Gate, Habersham Christian Learning Center, and Victory Home. Through this fund we support Beyond Bethlehem and underwrite up to 50% of the cost of each person who participates in a BBC Mission Trip.
 
To give to the Global Missions Fund, indicate your gift on your giving envelope, on your check, or choose Global Missions from the dropdown menu in the BBCC App. If you have other questions, please contact the church office, or the BBC mission team leader, Keith Ivey.
 
BBC works with these and other local partners. Feel free to contact or visit them to see how you and your Life Group can serve with them!
