Feeding Souls Ministries
Feeding Souls Ministries is a non-profit organization privileged to feed the hungry, walk alongside the lonely and nourish their souls with the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
FSM seeks out the lost, the marginalized, and those who are otherwise invisible in our communities to demonstrate love, care, and selflessness. Our primary way of reaching those in need is through a hot breakfast that we serve every Saturday. At present the meals are being prepared at Bay Presbyterian Church, which we then lovingly distribute in to-go containers to 6-7 locations every Saturday morning. We’re excited to announce that we will start serving sit-down meals in partnership with Bridge City Church, at our Bridge CLE Campus, every Saturday morning.
Serving Opportunities:
BPC - Food preparation and food delivery, volunteers are welcome to attend for either or both activities. The cooking starts at 6:45am in the Fallout Kitchen and deliveries leave at 8:15am.
Bridge City Church - Volunteers should arrive by 7:00am to help host breakfast from 8:00am-10:30am.

Key Ministry
Key Ministry was founded as an outreach of Bay Presbyterian Church to help churches welcome families of children with hidden disabilities. Since 2002, we’ve provided knowledge, innovation, and experience to the worldwide church as it ministers to and with individuals and families of kids with hidden, developmental, and physical disabilities. In addition to being a disability inclusion ministry resource, we find ourselves uniquely called and positioned to serve churches seeking to become more intentional and effective in ministry with children, teens, and adults impacted by mental illness and trauma.
Serving Opportunities:
Our online prayer team lifts up the petitions and praises of our organization, our staff, and the people and churches we serve.
We host regional and national events and are grateful for volunteers to prep, greet and guide at each venue, including at BPC.

Serving Opportunities:
Prayer is requested - as we work towards our goal of doubling our volunteer leaders
