REACHING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY
BCC believes the church exists to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. Working with our Outreach ministry partners, we discover what is most needed and together meet those needs. Outreach opportunities rotate monthly, offering different ways to participate: from hands-on projects to donations of goods, services, and financial resources. Join us as we live our mission: "Connect - Serve - Grow - Love."
