Brockton Interfaith Community (BIC) was created in 1990 by area clergy that were troubled by the pressing needs and concerns in the city of Brockton.  BIC has since expanded and grown into a powerful regional organization with 13 religious institutions, the Cape Verdean Association of Brockton, and StonehillCollege.  The ethnic and racial diversity of our organization only lends to our strength with Caucasians, African-Americans, Latinos, CapeVerdeans, and Haitians represented. 

It is BIC’s goal to improve the lives of those in Brockton through building the leadership of ordinary citizens.  With the belief that our faith unites us instead of divides us, we work toward bringing hope and change to those around us.

BIC is governed by a Board of Directors made up of two delegates from each member congregation.  With the board’s leadership and with training from the BIC organizers, congregations build leadership teams to do outreach within their congregation, neighborhood, and community organizations through home visits and house meetings in order to determine our self-interests, concerns, and passions.
