Serve
We desire to make a positive, lasting difference in the lives of people in our community and throughout the world.
God created each of us with a unique blend of talents, interests, and spiritual gifts for the purpose of playing a role in offering hope and healing in a hurting and broken world. When we serve out of these God-given gifts, we make a lasting difference in the lives of other people and in our own lives, as well.
Faith in Action
At Bethel Wildwood Church, we offer congregants of all ages a chance to give back by joining in Faith in Action. We’ve created a garden to grow food for the hungry, put together bags for Circle of Concern, helped at Equine Assisted Therapy and many other projects.
Circle of Concern
Circle Of Concern is a food pantry serving thousands of people every year in west St. Louis County, but feeding families is just the beginning. Their goal is to provide a variety of resources that empower individuals and families to become self-sufficient.
Bethel supports Circle of Concern’s mission, including their Back to School, Thanksgiving and Christmas Drives. Throughout the year, we collect items for Circle’s food pantry. Click the button below to find their current needs.
Please place your donations in the special collection shopping cart in the lobby for the Circle of Concern. Thanks!
