Community and Global Impact
Brick Church believes outreach is important and God calls us to minister to those here and around the world. As part of that call, Brick Church supports many local and abroad missions.
Blessings Box Food Pantry
Brick Church sponsors a Blessings Box, located on between the playground and our back parking lot. This box is kept stocked with non-perishable food items, hygiene and other support materials. Donations are given by the congregation as needed and collected throughout the year during canned food drive events, including our annual Souper Bowl.
Dollar Club
The first Sunday of every month, Brick has a special time during the service called Dollar Club. With the help of our smallest members of the congregation, we strive to collect $1 per person in attendance. Our Dollar Club funds are added each month and saved to be used at Christmas time for families in our community who may be in need. Our youth go shopping for toys, clothes and food for these families. Please be in prayer of our Dollar Club mission and that it shares the love our church has for our community, just like Jesus taught us.

They provide case managers, a health clinic, financial assistance, spiritual care and substace abuse support. The community center offers a place to receive mail, do laundry, take a shower and eat a meal on Thursdays.
Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. A small shoe-box can teach a child about the love of God, lead him or her to faith in Christ, inspire pastors and plan new churches. What goes into the box is fun, but what comes out is eternal. For more than 10 years, Brick Church has participated in Operation Christmas Child to provide that hope for children around the world. Brick fill and pack shoe-boxes the first week of November each year.

Brick Church has several fundraisers throughout the year to help in their ministries.

Brick ministers to our homebound in our community through All Bright Visiting Ministry, where teams visit those who are unable to join the community of faith in fellowship due to illness, physical frality or in residential care.
Local Schools
Brick services both Guilford and Alamance County school systems. We partner with the schools to meet needs within the schools. Our youth group is especially connected with this ministry.
