Connection, Community, Support, Growth
What is a Life Group?
The Life Group ministry exists in obedience to Matthew 28:18-20; where Jesus commanded the church to make disciples of all men.
A life group is a place where you can connect with others, grow to be more like Christ, and impact your community with the Gospel. They are small groups of believers and seekers who meet weekly for the purpose of discipleship, support, and accountability. Bonds are formed and relationships are built. It is a place where together, like-minded believers can celebrate life’s successes, be supported in life’s challenges, and be encouraged in God’s plan for your life. Life Groups meet in informal and friendly settings, such as the church, the home, the school, the office, and the community. Typically, the groups are separated into men, women, and youth to allow members to speak and share freely with one another. There are also Life Groups for Young Adults and married couples as well.
Groups are led by Life Group Coaches, men and women of character who have undergone training to be a coach. We believe that every believer has a leader within. We help develop you to lead others in your family, neighborhood, at your workplace and encourage them to do likewise. Life Groups meet on different days during the week at different locations throughout the region at different times to accommodate your schedule. There is a Life Group that is right for you.

Next Steps
Next Steps is a class where you can meet the church staff, learn more about them and meet new people within the church that are all interested in becoming members for just learning more about BBC. Wither you are a new member or maybe you’re still checking us out? Come, eat lunch and learn more about what we believe as a church and how you can get connected at BBC.
Grief Share
When someone you love dies, whether it is a spouse, family member, or friend, it’s common to feel isolated and feel many people do not understand the depth of your hurt. Grief Share groups help you face these challenges and move forward with rebuilding your life. Beginning, Sept. 7th, we will meet on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. in Room E-203. Each meeting is “self-contained”, so you do not have to attend in sequence.
Quilting Group
Do you enjoy quilting? The quilting group meets on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 9 am-5 pm in the Activities Center Fellowship Hall. Whether you’re finishing a project or starting a new one, this time is meant to be a fun time of fellowship and quilting. Questions or more information, please contact Ann Conley.
