🕊️ OUR MISSION

To serve people in crisis, share the gospel boldly, and bring the love of Jesus to the streets, homes, and hearts of Dodge County.

📖 1 John 3:18 – “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

🌱 OUR VISION

A community where help is free, hope is alive, and Jesus is known — not just in words, but in action and truth.

📖 Revelation 3:8 – “See, I have placed before you an open door...”

OUR Programs

We currently have 2 core programs. Our FREE kids shoes/winter boots program and our FREE Crisis support program.

📖 Ephesians 3:20 – God, in his might power, wants to do immeasurably more than we can ask or think.

At BDMC, we believe unity is at the heart of the gospel. Throughout the New Testament, we are reminded to live as one body, united in spirit and truth:

“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
— Ephesians 4:3

“If then there is any encouragement in Christ... make my joy complete by thinking the same way, having the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.”
— Philippians 2:1–2

That’s why BDMC is an interdenominational, faith-based organization. We welcome and partner with all Bible-beliers who hold to the core truths of Scripture: that the Word of God is alive and active, that the Trinity is real, and that Jesus Christ died and rose again to save us.

We’re not tied to any one denomination—we exist to be a neutral place of mission and service, working hand-in-hand with believers across Beaver Dam. Our hope is to spark real relationships between churches, build bridges not walls, and eventually host a city-wide Jesus Fest: a full day centered on fellowship, worship, the Word, and lifting high the name of Jesus.

Because as Paul wrote,

“Be united in the same mind and the same judgment.”
— 1 Corinthians 1:10

And we believe that call still stands.
