Local Outreach
Mission
To create a culture of evangelism in our local church by equipping our members through biblical teaching and modeling of evangelism & discipleship, providing opportunities to serve in the Lehigh Valley.
Vision
To fulfill the “local” expression of the Cedar Crest BFC mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ, seeing the church faithfully share and live out the gospel in every aspect of our daily lives. Our vision for local outreach is to present the message of eternal life through faith in Christ and to serve the needs of the Lehigh Valley community.

Kids Clubs
This summer, during the month of August, we will hold multiple small one-week kids clubs at different parks in our communities! These clubs will be for kids aged pre-K to 5th grade for the purpose of sharing the good news of Jesus with them and with the desire for YOU ALL to build relationships with families with kids in your neighborhoods.
Helpers and Hosts
If you’re interested in learning more about this initiative this summer and how you can serve, come to our informational meeting on Sunday, May 23rd after the service where there will also be free pizza provided! Please see the Local Outreach Promo Table outside the children’s exit after service on Sundays.
