Missions We Support

South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM)

The South Hills Interfaith Movement (SHIM) partners with Bethany Lutheran Church through donations and time commitments, we are “neighbors helping neighbors”. SHIM provides a food pantry, clothing bank, and resource opportunities for those in our area living in poverty. Bethany teams with other congregations of various denominations to provide resource support for SHIM.  Together we compassionately help our friends in the South Hills address food insecurity and crisis response.

Bethany Mission Trips

The people of Bethany Lutheran Church act on Jesus Christ’s call to “Go forth and make disciples of all nations.” This mission is carried out in Christian love by our commitment to give resources, time, and work to benefit the needs of others, all while explicitly communicating that we do this in the name of God who loved us first. Our call to mission extends to Bethel Park, the Pittsburgh area, and well beyond into national and international needs.

BLC has sponsored four mission trips, three domestic and one international including work at:

  • Oaks, OK at the Oaks Indian Mission: rebuilt and remodeled community buildings
  • Brooklyn, NY: refurbished a Lutheran church in a Jamaican community
  • Rural Upstate NY: refurbished two church buildings
  • La Croix, Haiti: medical care, eye glass distribution, building construction & teaching

If you are interested in participating in mission work or meeting a need you notice at local, national, or international levels, please contact Elizabeth Mayforth in the BLC offices.
