ABOUT THE B.U.S. MINISTRY:

If you want to attend our services on Wednesday evenings or Sunday mornings, but are limited due to lack of transportation, we have a bus that may be able to pick you up. Please contact our church office if you would like to make arrangements for a bus to pick up you or your children. 

Did You Know?

We have 18+ people actively serving in 13 operational positions each week, but we need more.

We have six buses and we currently run 3 routes on Sunday averaging 25 riders per week, and 4 routes on Wednesday averaging 65 riders per week. We are reaching many people, and we can reach many more. We just need more volunteers to do it.

We also have various activities for the B.U.S. kids. Last year’s Pumpkin Patch, Annual Christmas Store, and Lights in Belleville, are a few examples of some of the extra things we do with the kids.

Our buses are not only used to minister to people on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, but just about every other group in the church uses them at one time or another. Our Senior Adults use them for many of their monthly activities. Our youth use them several times a year for mission trips, conferences, and other events. Our entire Children’s ministry use them for camps and VBS.  

As we enter this time of growth and change by “Reaching Up”, we must not forget to continue “Reaching Out” to the community. One way is through this proven on-going ministry. God has used the B.U.S. ministry to win many people to Christ through the years. However, many of our team members fill more than one position.  Because of busy schedules it is difficult for many of them to serve year round. With no summer drivers last year, our attendance suffered substantially. What that means is unless we have enough people working in the ministry we lose opportunities to share the gospel.   We have only recently built attendance up to just over half of where we were. Praise God for the day we brought in 121 kids on one Wednesday night! Wouldn’t it be great to reach that goal again soon? If we have more volunteers we can.  But God’s vision is even bigger than that! Please pray about joining our team while we “Reach Up” to God and “Reach Out” to the community!
