Join us in Athens as we watch the video series, Cultures in Conflict, by Ray Vander Laan, followed by discussion led by Mark Nicholson.

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.

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/

  • Should be stored up in our hearts (Psalm 119:10-11)
  • Is sweeter than honey (Psalm 19:10)

Programs and events for all women

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
