Sunday School for Men & Women each Sunday, 9:15-10:15am (some exceptions due to holidays)

 

We offer two classes (detailed below) and it is one way to embrace our intergenerational body of believers. 

“Cultures in Conflict” – room #106

Experience the Bible in historical context as Mark Nicholson leads “Cultures in Conflict”, a five-lesson video series from Ray Vander Laan filmed on location in Israel and Greece. “The culture in Corinth conflicted greatly with the lifestyle that the Apostle Paul proclaimed to those who chose to follow Jesus. In the same way, the church today is called to proclaim the gospel in every environment, showing the world what it looks like when we give our lives to Jesus.”

Coffee Connection: “The Wired Word” – church foyer or sanctuary

We will have a leisurely start of 9:15 and will use discussion prompts from “The Wired Word” to give some structure to our conversation, but attendees are encouraged to share how they have seen God working in their life, or a meaningful passage in scripture they found, or where they need prayer or anything in-between. The intention is to provide a less formal and flexible option for anyone to drop in for morning fellowship. The idea behind the Coffee Connection is to create opportunities for more people to strengthen their faith, as well as increase the connections of our church community.

Small Groups

The purpose of the small group ministry is to encourage Christ-centered fellowship among the people of BBC while we do life together. If you are looking for Christian community where you can grow in your faith, please consider joining a small group by contacting Pastor Kale.

Prayer Gatherings

A weekly Wednesday night gathering dedicated to praise and prayer, 6:30-7:30PM in the sanctuary.  All ages are welcome. Come listen to testimonies and hear how God is answering prayers, share your prayer requests, and pray in small groups. Come be filled with God’s Presence, be encouraged, be refreshed, and be uplifted.

Each week will flow the same, except on the last Wednesday of the month, there will be additional accommodations for families. We’re calling these Prayer Gatherings+, and these gatherings will include:

  • Staffed Nursery: The nursery will be open for use each week, but on the last Wednesday of each month, the nursery will be staffed by caring adults for children from birth through 4 years old.
  • Kids Prayer Time: Activity kits will be available for children to use as they participate with their parents each week, but on the last Wednesday of the month, kids age 5+ can gather in the library (during the small group prayer time) for a special prayer-related activity.
  • Pre-Prayer Gathering Meal: You are invited to the Fellowship Hall for a meal to be served 5:30-6:05pm.  Fellowship Hall will be closed at 6:25pm. Enjoy dinner, and then meet in the sanctuary for praise and prayer. Invite your family and friends! Please RSVP for the dinner at the link: beckerbaptist.org/prayergatheringmeal/

Here is what God says about His Word

  • Is living and active (Hebrews 4:12)
  • Revives our soul (Psalm 19:7)
  • Is for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
  • Should be stored up in our hearts (Psalm 119:10-11)
  • Is sweeter than honey (Psalm 19:10)
  • Renews our mind (Romans 12:2)
  • Is a light (Psalm 119:105)

We encourage you to join a Bible study or visit our library filled with great resources to help you study God’s Word. Need help? Contact us.

Grace Women’s Ministry at BBC provides opportunities for women to know Christ and make Him known. Join us to study God’s Word together, gather together to worship and build community with each other and minister together to those in need.

“And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy  of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him:  bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;  giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.”  

Colossians 1:9-12
