What to Expect
We are eager for you to join us for a worship service! Our services are a blend of contemporary and traditional. A typical service includes worship music, prayer, communion (usually on the first weekend of the month), and preaching from the Bible (see our Preaching Schedule).
After the service, you will have an opportunity to pray with a pastor or prayer team member. Visit the Info Booth outside the Sanctuary to ask a question or pick up printed materials.

Ministries

Young AdultsYoung Adults North
The North Campus Young Adult Ministry exists to provide a place for young adults (age 18–29) to cultivate spiritual growth and community through regular gatherings, biblical teaching, prayer, accountability, and committed relationships within the wider church body.
Weekly YA Gatherings
This Summer, join the group every Tuesday for teaching and community events. Teaching events will be at the North Campus 7–9pm. These gatherings focus on guidance for young adults through biblical teaching from our leaders and elders. In addition to teaching events, various community events will be held on alternate Tuesdays (off site) to foster fellowship with one another.
Small Groups
A big part of the YA ministry is a network of small groups. The small groups prioritize Bible study, prayer, accountability, fellowship, and outreach. While small groups are on pause for the summer, young adults can learn about each of the groups and get set up for joining one in the Fall by contacting Daniel Bouchoc (below).
Get Connected
To get connected with the ministry and to hear more updates, join us on Facebook and Instagram (@bbcnorth_ya) where we announce events and post information about the group.
