The mission of the Social Responsibility Ministry is to mobilize BCEC members to live out their faith by actively sharing the love, justice, and mercy of God as exemplified by Jesus Christ. We provide opportunities to serve, support, and be educated about God’s love for those who are in need, mainly through supporting programs and stewarding the Charity Fund.

Grace Community Empowerment (GCE)
BCEC continues to partner with GCE (founded by our BCEC missionary, Sharon Tan Pastre) to minister to the poorest of the poor in Cebu, Philippines. In the past, BCEC members donated over 400 shoeboxes/Ziploc bags filled with items as graduation gifts for children who attend the preschools operated by GCE in the dumpsite and cemetery communities.
