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 – “Growing Faith”
Speaker: Bill Dwyer
Series: This is My Story
Scripture Focus: Philippians 1:6, 2:12
It’s often not until we look back that we begin to understand how God worked in our lives—but that is exactly what He was doing. At each step along the way, He was planting seeds and ensuring that they grow. This week, we will hear from Bill Dwyer, who will share how God initiated and deepened his faith.
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.

ManDay — August 15
ManDay 2026 is locked in for Sat., Aug. 15, at 9:00am! Come hang out, eat a complimentary breakfast, and hear from our speaker, Pastor Joshua Smith! Afterward you’re invited to join an activity of your choice: golf, hiking, axe throwing, target shooting, escape room, pickleball, or bowling. Registration is open and is mandatory for everyone (even if you are only coming for the free breakfast) so we can get an accurate headcount for food and bookings.
