Bethel Churches United
Bethel Churches United (BCU) is a coalition of churches located in Bethel Township. The group meets bi-monthly on the last Tuesday of the month. The locations of the meetings rotate between member churches. BCU is supported by the financial donations of its members.
The primary focus of the group is the BCU food pantry. The food pantry is located behind the United Methodist Church in New Carlisle. It is the largest food pantry in the township, serving hundreds of people each year. In addition to providing food the pantry building also houses a clothes closet. The food pantry is supported through food donations, a grant from the Springfield Foundation and is a recipient of USDA food items.
Other BCU events include an annual CROP Walk and the Christmas baskets.
All churches regardless of denomination are encouraged to participate. If you are interested in joining please contact the current president, Julie Fisher at fishlaj@juno.com.
