Baptist Community Ministries

BCM is committed to the greater New Orleans region and to the attainment of a healthier community for the people living here. BCM strives to provide a better quality of life for all people in the region through grantmaking, with specific zones of interest in health, education and public safety. Our goals are as follows:

Health: A healthy community provides its citizens with an environment that creates a state of positive physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Education: A healthy community provides learning opportunities for all of its residents to develop the cognitive, vocational, social, and emotional skills necessary to be successful in college, work, and life.
Public Safety: A healthy community provides for a balanced approach to crime prevention and management, including effective interventions and behavioral controls working in cooperation with efficient, effective and coordinated justice system agencies
