The Berrien County Association of Churches (BCAC) founder of Benton Harbor Street Ministry was first organized as the Berrien County Sunday Association in 1878. In 1942 the association merged with an ecumenical church group, becoming the Council of Churches and adopting their current name in 1983. The Association has sponsored many different ministries over the course of its history. In addition for training Sunday school teachers, the Association operated a summer camp for children and youth, sponsored the building of Berrien Homes, a 160 unit low income and middle income housing project, operated schools for the children of migrant workers, worked with homeless people in Benton Harbor and established the Benton Harbor Street Ministry, an educational and social service agency.
