About Us ~ How We Serve . . .
American Red Cross
The church participates with the American Red Cross by sponsoring a community Blood Drive here at the church at various times throughout the year. All persons are welcome. Contact the church office for details.
Youth and adult leaders spend a week during the summer in a designated area of Appalachia. They are assigned a home with much-needed repairs where they work Monday - Friday. “God moments” are shared during evening worship services that are held with other groups from other churches and other denominations. Specifics of parts of the construction trade are learned, fellowship with other Christians is enjoyed, and a different avenue for communing with God and his creation is opened.
Brethren Disaster Ministries focuses on rebuilding homes, caring for children, and providing international relief to serve communities recovering from disaster. A group of dedicated volunteers from the Bush Creek congregation commit at least one week a year, traveling to project sites to repair or rebuild damaged homes for disaster survivors who lack the resources to hire a contractor or other paid labor.
Meat Canning
Every spring Brethren from the Mid-Atlantic and Southern Pennsylvania Districts travel to Christian Aid Ministries in Ephrata, Pennsylvania to assist in meat canning. Chicken is processed and canned for distribution to areas of need in the United States and around the world.
Shepherd's Spring Outdoor Ministry Center is a retreat center and summer camp owned and operated by the Mid-Atlantic District Church of the Brethren. Bush Creek Church actively supports the camp.
