Guest Speaker Evangelist Lynn Lapka
We hope you join us for a special service on Sunday, May 24 as we hear from Evangelist Lynn Lapka.
Lynn and Holly Lapka have enjoyed full-time ministry in their beautiful home state of Montana for the last 25 years. Serving most recently as lead pastors for 15 years on the Flathead Reservation brought an acute understanding of the Pastoral role listed in Ephesians 4.
Lynn and Holly felt directed of the Lord to begin Dust of Emmaus Ministries while resting in Israel after leading a tour of the Holy Land. The purpose of this ministry is to teach the Word of God with the cultural and historical context in which it was written. They have a passion for Israel and believe the location and culture should play a vital role in every Christian’s life.
BGMC giving Sunday
Our Goal:
For the year 2026, our church giving goal is $2,600. Help our church reach this goal by giving a special offering to BGMC at the Coffee Bar on Sunday, May 31.
What is BGMC?
BGMC is the only long-standing missions ministry partner in the Assemblies of God that awakens and activates creative compassion in kids within the local church so that the next generation is empowered to pray, give, and go. We are engaging storytellers, givers, local leaders, and directors who challenge kids to embrace sacrificial living for the sake of the gospel. We see every generation personally responsible for the Mission of the Church and strive to instill a missional worldview with the goal of compassionate Missions Champions who discover how God’s heart can be their heart.”
Where Do BGMC Offerings Come From?
Young children giving in Buddy Barrels
Older children making faith promises
Parents and other adults receiving special offerings
What Does BGMC Money Buy?
Our missionaries can use BGMC funds for any ministry supplies that relate to evangelism and discipleship.
Puppets, music, and videotapes
Tracts, Bibles, and literature
Sound systems, computers, and copy machines
And a whole lot more!
Why Give Offerings To BGMC?
BGMC goes to where the need is the greatest, where the timing is the most urgent, and where people's lives can be changed forever.
When you give to BGMC, you are helping our entire ministry team all at once!
Our Goal:
For the year of 2025, our church giving goal is $1,800.
In 2024, we gave $1,693
