Small Groups provide a personal setting where we can become more Christ like by participating in caring relationships, growing in the wisdom of God, and maturing in our spiritual gifts.

Child Safety and a Note to Families 

Child Safety
Our desire at BPC is to draw people to Jesus.  This includes even the youngest children who attend our church. We view ourselves as partners with parents, seeking to provide quality care and instruction for children.  We take this responsibility seriously. To this end we have developed a Child Safety Policy, an application process, and defined qualifications for anyone working with children or youth in the church.

A Note To Families
To strengthen and mature families in their Christian walk, we encourage the following:

·         Children attend Sunday School so that they might know God better and learn that they are part of a church family who loves them and cares about them.

·         Adults attend Sunday School and/or a Small Group or Bible Study so that they might grow in their faith and be a bolder witness to the next generation.

·         Families worship together during worship service and sit together as a family so that children might participate with their parents and come to understand what worship is all about.

·         Extended family, neighbors, and friends be frequently invited to worship services and Sunday School classes and received by the entire church family with warmth.

·         Family members have a daily devotional time together at home and carefully consider their reading and entertainment choices.  The church Library is a resource for family devotional material.
