Our Mission Statement

Our mission is simple: to embody the love of Christ through acts of service, compassion, and community support. We strive to meet the needs of individuals and families in Sarver, Pennsylvania, fostering a stronger, more connected community where everyone can thrive. We operate as a non-profit organization, ensuring that all our efforts are focused on serving others, not personal gain.

 

The Berean Mission Group (BMG) was founded out of a perceived need to serve the women of the church and the local community. Our beginnings may be understood as humble, and, perhaps, insignificant, but based on the principles taught by our Lord in the parable of the hidden leaven: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into 50 pounds of flour until it spread through all of it."  It becomes obvious to any bread baker that it will take some time for a small amount of yeast to disseminate that much flour, but "the nature of yeast is to grow and change whatever it contacts." (What is the meaning of the Parable of the Leaven?/Got Questions.org)

 

The first step is to Reach Up with belief in and worship of our Creator and Savior. By accepting His grace, we allow the "yeast" of transformation to be deposited into our lives, which, in time, will make us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

 

As the yeast performs its work from within, so does the kingdom of God through the work of the Holy Spirit. The BMG wishes to teach the women of our community of the Spirit's desire to Reach In to our lives daily and ways to effect that.

 

Ultimately, the yeast will permeate the entire mass of dough, spreading out from its humble beginnings. Our desire is to Reach Out to the women of our community in love, friendship, and fellowship.
