Our community garden gives us the opportunity to help those in need, especially during these difficult economic times. A Community Garden is not just a place to grow food. It is an opportunity to express our faith in the community and interact with God and His creation. Working together as a church community provdes a wonderful sense of accomplishment and offers tremendous opportunity to strengthen intergenerational ties as young and old work side by side, weeding, watering, and planting.

On the first Saturday of each month First Baptist Bloomfield distributes groceries to families in need. It is our desire to serve and “love on” the community. Through this ministry we are able to communicate the love of Christ in a tangible way. Familes can sign up for the food distribution by calling or visiting the church office. The distribution begins at 9:00 AM.

Sycamore Housing is our transitional housing ministry. The vision of this ministry is to be a place of God’s hope and healing that empowers families seeking to transition their lives from economic hardship and uncertainty to a life of stability, self-sufficiency, and service to the community. We currently have three transitional housing units. Application for housing can be made at the church office.
