The BLOOM Center

Building Lives through Outreach and Occupational Ministry

About The BLOOM Center

At The BLOOM Center, we work to improve the lives of individuals with special abilities and developmental challenges using horticulture as our platform. We use the church's 9,000 square foot commercial greenhouse to enable our programs to operate rain or shine. Individuals learn to stay on task, work together, take instruction and see the results of their work. They plant and grow thousands of ornamental plants each year and sell them at annual plant sales. This is program is 100% volunteer led and you do not have to be a church member to participate!

Work Training for Students with special needs

Students from local high schools come most mornings when schools are in session and learn vocational skills related to greenhouse work.

Central Bearden’s members give our flowers to local home-bound individuals, and nursing home residents to brighten their space and their day.

Many healthy but “unsellable” plants are donated to us and nursed back to health by our Rescue Squad Nurses.
