Burnt Store Presbyterian Church has a keen sense of mission. We are firmly committed to reaching out to the community and to the world in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Mission Ministry of our Session advises how we allocate our benevolence dollars. Although our total mission budget amount is determined at the beginning of the year, the committee meets monthly throughout the year to consider requests for funds from the more than two dozen organizations that we support locally and abroad. In addition to monetary support, our ministry is committed to providing people in a variety of hands-on projects such as the home we built in 2000 for Habitat for Humanity.

In 1983, when our church was organized, it adopted as its motto: Burnt Store Presbyterian Church ... a church reaching up and reaching out. We have formalized these words into our mission statement. May our Lord enable us to remember these words and to minister accordingly.

Update on Haiti Outreach Ministries (HOM) Blanchard School where Burnt Store Presbyterian Church sponsored children attend has had the second floor ceiling poured and hopes to have at least partial availability of the new floor for classes in September. The Blanchard Vocational School teaching tailoring, sewing, crafts and information technology classes will open its doors in September as planned for the first classes. Solar panels are being used to supply the energy for the power-intensive need of these classes. It is truly awesome to see the hopes and prayers of Pastor Leon and HOM come to fruition. The Lord is hard at work in Haiti.
Calendar Note: On the weekend of September 15/16, 2007, Pastor Luc, Senior Pastor at Blanchard Church, will visit BSPC and speak briefly at Sunday's worship services. A Pot Luck Supper is planned with Pastor Luc for Saturday, September 15 where we will hear the latest news from Haiti, get an update on our sponsored children and have a front row seat to see Mission At Work!
