Missions
In Matthew 28:18-20 Christ gave His marching orders to the church to go, make disciples of all nations, to baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and to teach them to obey all he had commanded. What then follows, in the book of Acts, is exactly that – the Church going, making disciples, baptizing and teaching. Our hope, in all of our mission activities, from our food pantry here in the Village of Northville to our partnerships and work with missionaries all over the globe, is that disciples would be made and taught to obey Christ in everything to His glory.

The Bread of Life Food Pantry:
The “Bread of Life Food Pantry” is located at BCON Corner on Main Street. It serves families in Northville and is a community effort supported by volunteers, Northville churches, local businesses and organizations, and donations from the community. The Pantry is open on Wednesday mornings from 10-10:30am.
The “Backpack Program”: We have been able to support up to 30 families through our Backpack Program. Many of these families are from the Edinburg Common and Northville Central School Districts. Families receive donations through a backpack which is sent out on Friday’s giving children meals for the entire weekend and school vacations.
We thank you for your donations and continued support of this wonderful outreach to our community. It is a team effort and we thank you for playing your part on the team. Below is a list of items we hand out most commonly to our families, for your reference. Also, we have added a donation shed which was provided by a grant to the Edinburg Common School, which allows for after- hour donations. It is green and in the rear of BCON Corner.
Financial Donations may also be made payable to “Bread of Life Food Pantry” which has its own account. Donations may be mailed to BCON, PO BOX 223, Northville, NY 12134
