SERVING AND OUTREACH
Why We Serve
At Bridgeport United Methodist Church, serving others is a response to God’s grace at work in our lives. We believe that faith in Jesus Christ is not only something we confess with our words, but something we live out through love of neighbor.
As a Matthew 25 Church, we are committed to ministry with and for the least, the last, the lonely, and the left out. This commitment shapes how we understand discipleship, calling us to meet immediate needs, walk alongside those who are vulnerable, and work for a more just and compassionate community.
We serve not to earn God’s favor, but because we have already received it. Grounded in the Wesleyan tradition, we believe that love of God and love of neighbor belong together.
How We Serve
At Bridgeport United Methodist Church, serving others takes many forms. Our outreach ministries are shaped by a commitment to meet real needs, build meaningful relationships, and honor the dignity of every person.
Meeting Immediate Needs
We respond to basic and urgent needs in our community, including food insecurity, clothing, and essential household items. Through regular meal ministries, food distributions, and seasonal assistance efforts, we seek to offer practical help rooted in compassion and care.
Walking Alongside Individuals and Families
Beyond short-term assistance, we believe in ministry that listens, accompanies, and supports people over time. Through ministries focused on family advocacy, pastoral care, and community support, we strive to walk alongside neighbors facing hardship, transition, or crisis.
Serving with and for Our Neighbors
Our outreach is grounded in partnership—both within the congregation and with community organizations. We work alongside local agencies, schools, shelters, and service providers to strengthen the wider network of care in our region.
Living Out Faith Through Action
People of all ages participate in serving ministries at Bridgeport UMC. Children, youth, adults, and families serve together, learning that faith is not only something we believe, but something we practice—through generosity, hospitality, and love in action.
Serving together across generations—learning that faith is lived, not only believed.
Get Involved
Serving is one of the ways we grow together as disciples of Jesus Christ. Whether you are looking for a regular way to serve, a seasonal opportunity, or a one-time project, there are many ways to participate in the life and outreach of Bridgeport United Methodist Church.
