WHAT is the BDMC?

We exist to reflect Jesus — through service, truth, and love.
BDMC is an inter-denominational faith-based nonprofit bringing prayer, hope, and real help to those in crisis here in Beaver Dam and beyond!

🕊️ 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 are designed for anyone experiencing crisis, searching for hope, or needing encouragement — spiritually, emotionally, or physically. We serve:

    • Individuals facing homelessness or housing instability

    • Families struggling to make ends meet

    • Youth in need of practical support and spiritual encouragement

    • Those battling addiction, mental health challenges, or simply feeling forgotten

    • Local volunteers who want to live out their faith through action

    • Churches and groups looking to partner in serving the community

    Whether you need help or want to help others — there’s a place for you here.

  • At BDMC, we believe the Church isn’t a building — it’s people living like Jesus outside the walls.
    Our goal is to:

    • Meet needs humbly and practically

    • Create conversations that lead to prayer, healing, and repentance

    • Build long-term relationships rooted in the gospel

    • Encourage the body of Christ to step into uncomfortable places

    • Partner with local organizations already doing good work

    Every kit we hand out, every prayer we pray, and every meal we serve is about more than relief — it’s about restoration.

  • 🙏 Prayer & Crisis Support

    • Online prayer and crisis request form

    • In-person prayer teams at community events (like Beaver Dam Pride)

    • BDMC exists to support, not compete — we’ll point people wherever help is available

  • Why We exist

    BDMC began with a simple burden: to show the love of Jesus to those who need Him most — not just in word, but in action.

    We’re not a building, a brand, or a denomination. We’re a movement of people serving Beaver Dam and surrounding communities with prayer, care, and the truth of the gospel.

    Everything we do — every kit, every event, every prayer — is to make Jesus known.

    This is our story, and it’s just getting started.

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-believing churches 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.
