Mission is alive and evolving at Bradley Hills and every aspect reflects the passion and compassion of our members. All mission projects that are supported financially by the church began with the care and commitment of one of our members, and continue to have a member as the liaison to the organization served. In addition to volunteering for an existing project, you are invited to consider joining our mission coordinating team or bring an idea for a new project.
