Smaller gatherings and life groups offer a chance for us to grow, serve, and share life together. We believe that God can shape us as disciples through intentional friendships of depth and vulnerability where “iron can sharpen iron” (Prov. 27:17). None of us sees all of there is about God, Scripture, or an issue; we need one another to see and understand a fuller picture. And it is in supporting and encouraging one another that we can be faithful to God’s call.

We have a variety of groups meeting throughout the week at BCC, online, and in homes. Check out the list and see which one fits you!

For more information or to join a new group, please contact Pastor Adria.

Wednesday Evening Study & Prayer
6:30-8:30 PM — Zoom
Women of any age and state are invited to gather for Bible study and prayer in a very supportive community. We start with a time of connection, then study the Bible chapter by chapter using a homiletics format, which allows us to dig deeper into the Scriptures and develop applications. We are studying the letter of James from August to October. On alternate weeks, we spend the time in prayer using praise, silent confession, thanksgiving, and intercession formats.

La Sobremesa
Thursdays, 7 PM — Homes
La Sobremesa means “around the table”—the place where we slow down, share our lives, and get to know one another beyond the surface. This is a space for women of all ages and seasons of life to come as they are, be known, be vulnerable, laugh, ask hard questions, and grow together as we follow Jesus. Come pull up a chair. There’s room for you at the table.
