Coming Events

Anchor - Pier 56 Wednesday Dinner

Each Wednesday our 5th - 8th grade students and their leaders gather for a family-style meal before they head to their individual youth groups. We are seeking individuals or small groups to provide part of the meal for this gathering. Donations should be brought to the kitchen by 5:20 pm, ready to serve. We are also happy to accept donations in advance and can heat them up for the meal. Thank you for your generosity!

Pier 56 Ministry Intern
First, and foremost, I am a daughter of the King and love Jesus! I am passionate about camping and youth ministry, and am especially drawn to the middle school age group. I have served as part of the Yellowstone Alliance Adventures staff team for several summers, which has truly helped me grow in my faith & confidence.  I am blessed to serve as an intern at BAC, leading the Pier 56 Ministry for 5th & 6th grade students, while pursing NextGen Ministries at Crown College online.
