What’s Happening?
Join us on this journey of service and ministry as we recognize Christ’s urgent call to be a church of action, where God’s love, justice, and mercy shine forth and are contagious. Rejoice in how our re-energized faith can unite all Presbyterians for a common and holy purpose: our common identity to do a mission. This is a great time to get involved and be part of the life, worship and work of BPC. Join us today!
