Brazos Church Pantry

First Methodist Church, Bryan is a proud supporter of the Brazos Church Pantry. The Brazos Church Pantry shares the love of Christ by providing food to those in need in Brazos and surrounding counties. From its humble beginnings in 1986, the Church Pantry has grown to over 30 participating churches from many denominations all over Bryan and College Station. Governed by a Board of Directors and staffed completely by more than 125 volunteers, the Pantry now serves over 1,200 families and distributes over 62,000 pounds of food each month. 100% of the income received by Pantry comes from donations. 95% of this money goes directly to food; the rest goes to expenses such as utilities and supplies. There has never been anyone paid to work at the pantry.

Brazos Valley Walk to Emmaus
The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal and formation experience intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders.
The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with the prayerful discernment and invitation from a sponsor who has previously completed a Walk. Once the invitation is accepted, an application is completed. The Emmaus leaders prayerfully consider each applicant and in God's time, the person is invited to attend. At this point, the applicant (called a Pilgrim), is invited to attend a three-day experience where they have the opportunity to have God's grace and love revealed to them through other believers.
Following the three-day experience, Pilgrims are invited to join in small groups which support one another in their ongoing walk with Christ. This accountable discipleship allows the participants to develop their individual gifts and servant-leadership skills, and offers encouragement to find ways to live out their individual call to discipleship at home, church, and in their community.
Please contact the church office to become a Pilgrim at (979) 779-1324.
KAIROS PRISON MINISTRY
The goal of Kairos Prison Ministry is to develop a Christian community on the inside of a prison. Free-world volunteers show the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ with 42 inmates (residents) during a 31/2 day weekend through talks, meditations, chapel visits, music, and fellowship. After the weekend, small groups called Prayer and Share are held weekly and Reunions groups are held months with free-world volunteers to help the residents remain accountable for their walk with Christ.
Team meeting will be conducted at First Baptist Church 8am-2pm on the following dates: August 19, September 2, September 16, and September 30.
There are ways that you can make a positive impact on the residents attending the upcoming Kairos Weekend, October 19-22 at the Wallace Pack Unit in Navasota. This includes baking cookies, meal preparation, financial support, working with the residents, or attend the closing ceremony on October 22nd.
