One of the three focal points of our congregation is service. Service to the members of this congregation; service to the community; service to the world. At the heart of our service is our commitment to honor God by doing our part to honor all God’s children. We serve because we can. We serve because we are committed to caring “for the least of these” as instructed by Jesus.
We serve because in our actions, God is revealed to a hurting world.
Members and friends of BCC serve the congregation in a variety of ways, including:
