Bear Creek United Methodist Church is supported by faithful contributions from members and guests alike. We offer several ways to give securely online, via text message, mail, or in person. Some members setup Bear Creek UMC as a recurring payment via Bill Pay with their bank, which saves the fees incurred by the church when using the other online methods.
Thank you for your faithful contributions that allow us to continue the various ministries of Bear Creek United Methodist Church!
