About West Side Brethren In Christ
West Side Brethren In Christ: Following Jesus, Serving Others, Making Disciples
For over a century, the Brethren in Christ U.S. has been making a difference in communities around the world. One of its most active and vibrant congregations is West Side Brethren In Christ, located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
At West Side BIC, the focus is on following Jesus and serving others. This means putting faith into action by reaching out to those in need and sharing God's love with everyone they meet. Whether it's through community service projects or mission trips to other parts of the world, members of this congregation are committed to making a positive impact on the world around them.
One of the key ways that West Side BIC serves its community is through its various ministries. These include programs for children and youth such as Sunday School classes and Vacation Bible School; outreach efforts like food drives and clothing donations; and opportunities for spiritual growth such as small group studies and prayer meetings.
In addition to these local initiatives, West Side BIC also supports global missions through partnerships with organizations like World Vision and Mennonite Central Committee. Through these partnerships, members have traveled to places like Haiti, Guatemala, and Kenya to provide aid and support to those in need.
But perhaps what sets West Side BIC apart from other churches is its commitment to making disciples - not just within their own congregation but throughout their entire community. This means actively seeking out opportunities to share their faith with others - whether it's through personal conversations or public events like concerts or festivals.
Of course, none of this would be possible without strong leadership at every level of the church. At West Side BIC, pastors work closely with lay leaders to ensure that everyone feels valued and supported as they seek to live out their faith in practical ways.
So if you're looking for a church that truly embodies what it means to follow Jesus - one that puts service above self-interest - then look no further than West Side Brethren In Christ. With more than 100 years of history behind them (and many more yet ahead), this congregation is poised for even greater things in the years ahead!
