Meets 9:15AM in room #106 during September – May.  Our focus will be scripture study on spiritual disciplines.
 
 
We’ll kick off on September 10 at 9:15AM with a potluck breakfast, at which teachers for the year will be introduced.  The first class on September 17 will be on “Why Study Scripture?”, facilitated by Mike Graber.  That will be followed on September 24 on “Why Pray?”, taught by Elizabeth Roemer.  Starting October 1 through October 29, Steve Angell and Mark Nicholson will teach on Scripture.

 

Small Groups

The purpose of our small groups is to build intentional communities within our congregation by doing life together, discussing scripture together (through a guided book/study) and praying together, often sharing a snack or meal together! Small group members of all ages and with or without children invest in each other through prayer and relationship. Our small group leaders offer a variety of days & times to meet and in a variety of ways to help meet your needs (in-person, Zoom or hybrid).  Complete the online form to let us know of your interest.

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

Join our Discovery Workshp

Saturday, October 7 | 9AM-Noon, room #106

Are you serving God out of fear, guilt or duty? Perhaps not at all, for multiple reasons. Come spend an interactive, encouraging morning fellowshipping with women as we discover how God has uniquely shaped and equipped each believer for His purpose. “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.” ~1 Cor. 12:4-6. Led by Cissy Horstman. Refreshments will be provided. Please register using the Grace Women’s Contact Form (button below).
