challenging times
The Alongsider Team
At times it can be challenging to know where to begin
We have a team of trained people who can come alongside and support you during times of stress or pressure, grief or loneliness etc.
Someone from the team will come alongside you with a listening ear, offer prayer, and activate some of the resources we have at BBC that may assist you.
food – kai mānga
Kai Mānga at its heart captures our desire as Gods people to show kindness, generosity and support for others in our immediate church whānau and the wider community. We do this through prepared meals or grocery hampers lovingly put together by an amazing team of BBC’ers who want to make Jesus known through our care for each other when a need arises or when tough times hit.
The strength of Kai Mānga is built on us us the BBC whānau caring for each other, as well as the relationships we hold within the community – our friends, families, and neighbours. Beyond that, we extend our care to encompass the wider connections our church maintains with local groups, schools, and maraes.
It’s important to note that Kai Mānga isn’t merely a food bank; rather, it’s an extension of our own home pantries. We step in as the embodiment of kindness for those seeking support and care.
