We just celebrated our 85th anniversary as a church, and now we turn the page from our first 85 to our NEXT85. As we look ahead, we trust that God is leading us into a future where His truth and grace will continue to shine through us for generations to come.

This Week’s Message – “New Life Lived the New Way”
Guest Speaker: Mark Chen
Series: Romans
Scripture Focus: Romans 7:1-25
Paul leads us into his personal experience in the new life, but new questions arise: Are we truly released from the Law? Don’t we need the Law? If we desire to meet the Law of God, why do we have such a frustrating time trying to make it? Why do I feel like I can never win? Why is it so hard to live like a good Christian?
A BCC Group is a gathering of people just like you who come together each week in a relaxed setting to share their lives, their insights into the Bible, and their gifts and talents for serving Jesus Christ. Life’s a journey, and the happiest people walk the road with others. Find your own traveling companions in a BCC Group.
