Community Outreach and Partnerships
International Student Lunches at USC
Twice each year, Beulah helps provide meals for international students through Carolina BCM. For nearly 15 years, this has given our church the opportunity to show hospitality, build relationships, and encourage students from around the world while they are studying here in South Carolina. We are thankful for this partnership and the doors it opens for gospel-centered care and friendship. carolinabcm.org
