HAYDEN - Inspired by a visit to a Rathdrum church, Pamela Eaton founded Breaking Bread Ministries in March 2010.

"I just felt a stirring inside my heart," said the 52-year-old Eaton, of Rathdrum. "I just decided I wanted to serve God, anywhere I go."

Eaton's non-denominational, Christian nonprofit offers community, fellowship and prayer. Formerly based in Rathdrum, Breaking Bread is moving to a new home: A yellow house on the northeast corner of Government Way and Lacey Avenue in Hayden.

Leased from an investor in California, the building needs a lot of work - but Eaton has big plans for the place.

"My passion has been for a long time to start a video/audio library for people," Eaton said.

Her collection will include movies, documentaries and music CDs with a Christian theme. The library will be constructed in a small side room of the new Breaking Bread house.

"Anything involving spiritual growth, personal inspiration," said Eaton, who is studying film at North Idaho College.

Her ideas don't end there.

Breaking Bread Ministries will also serve as a meeting place for other nonprofits, Eaton said. Organizations can use the building for conferences or fundraisers.

In addition, vendors and craftspeople will sell goods in the side yard, a large plot of land that will be landscaped and planted. An exercise group might gather at the house.

On Sundays, people will come together for music - Eaton plays the guitar - roundtable discussions and Bible reading.

Volunteers are stepping up, she said. Some are helping with the house renovation, and a company has volunteered to collect tree branches on the property. Another group might plant the garden in the yard, too.

Eaton will sell her homemade chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and coconut cookies at Breaking Bread, as well as Dr. Miller's Holy Tea - a beverage with healthy benefits.

The nonprofit's mission, Eaton explained, is to inspire, motivate and equip. If all goes according to her vision, Breaking Bread will be a multipurpose facility: sanctuary, marketplace, resource and community headquarters.

"It's just expanded so much I can't hardly keep up," Eaton said.
