Sunday Worship
Welcome to BCC!
We’re thrilled you’re considering joining us for worship at BCC! Whether you’ve been a lifelong churchgoer or are just starting your faith journey, we welcome you with open arms.
At BCC, we’re passionate about helping people connect their everyday lives with the deep grounding of faith. Through uplifting music, heartfelt prayer, and meaningful sermons, we invite you to reflect on how a connection with God can bring inspiration and purpose to your journey.
Feeling Nervous?
That’s completely normal! Stepping into a new church can feel intimidating. But don’t worry, all you have to do is walk through the door. Our friendly members are there to greet you and answer any questions you might have.
Finding Your Way Around
- Parking: Parking is available on the street in front of 30 South State Road or in our parking lot located across from the church at 25 South State Road.
- Main Entrance: Most people enter through the beautiful tower entrance.
- Accessible Entrance: A ramp is available on the right side of the building, leading directly to the sanctuary entrance.
Settling In
- Grab a Bulletin: As you enter the sanctuary, friendly greeters will welcome you and offer a bulletin outlining the service. This will be your guide, listing hymns and upcoming announcements.
- Find a Seat: There’s no assigned seating, so feel free to choose a comfortable spot. As you get settled, you might see the choir warming up, the pastor preparing, or the deacons getting ready to share the news.
The Worship Service
- Relax and Follow Along: The service typically lasts about an hour, and the bulletin will help you follow the flow. Just sit back, relax, and participate as you feel comfortable.
- Children are Welcome!: About 15 minutes into the worship, children are invited to a Children’s Message with the Pastor. Following their time together, children are escorted across the stree to Sunday School Classes.
- Communion Sundays: The first Sunday of each month we share the sacrament of Communion. As an Open and Affirming Church, you are welcome to receive the bread and cup of juice…whether you are a member of BCC or not. Any age, anybody is welcome to the table that represents Jesus’ love.
Coffee & Connection
After the service, join us for fellowship time! Head across the street to Beebe Hall, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and connect with other members.
